When water is heated in the ocean by the sun and turns into water vapor
condensation
evaporation
transpiration
Water in lakes and rivers that does not contain salt
recycled water
new water
fresh water
When water vapor is cooled and forms droplets
condensation
evaporation
transpiration
After condensation, the droplets of water in the clouds fall to Earth in different forms
precipitation
condensation
evaporation
Water that evaporates from the ocean
contains sand and salt
contains salt
does not contain salt
Forms of precipitation are
only sleet and snow.
rain, sleet, snow, and hail.
only dew mists and rain.
Precipitation occurs because
the droplets evaporate in the air.
the droplets are to light for the air to hold.
the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold.
