How do the sun and ocean interact to form?
A. Energy from the Sun causes water in the ocean to evaporate. Cooler air causes the water vapor to condense to form a cloud.
B. The absorption of sunlight by ocean water near the surface forms a cloud.
C. Heat from the Sun attracts clouds that move towards the ocean.
D. Energy from the Sun causes water to become water vapor. The water vapor becomes a cloud during precipitation.
Forms of precipitation include--
A. snow, sleet, and hail only
B. rain and snow only
C. sleet, snow, rain, and hail
D. hail and rain only
What process is most likely represented by Stage Y?
A. Percolation
B. Precipitation
C. Formation of fog

What change occurs during evaporation?
A. Water vapor changes to solid water
B. Liquid water changes to water vapor
C. Water vapor becomes liquid water
D. Water vapor is absorbed into the soil on Earth's surface.
The water cycle is a continuous movement of water on Earth. In the diagram, which process is labeled by the letter X?
A. Sublimination
B. Transpiration
C. Absorbation
D. Evaporation
A student places a glass, filled with ice and water, outside on a hot sunny day. The student returns an hour later and observes that the ice cubes are gone and the glass has water droplets on the outside. Which two changes has the student observed in the water glass?
A. Melting and evaporation
B. Evaporation and freezing
C. Condensation and precipitation
D. Melting and condensation
In a simple investigation during science class, hot water is poured into a plastic cup. Then the plastic cup is covered with plastic wrap.
