The flowchart below shows part of Earth's water cycle. The question marks indicate a part of the flowchart that has been deliberately left blank.
Which process should be shown in place of the question marks to best complete the flowchart?
condensation
deposition
evaporation
infiltration
The diagrams below show the setup and results of an experiment.
Which statement best explains the results of the experiment?
Condensation is the primary source of moisture for the atmosphere.
Energy is required for evapotranspiration.
Precipitation at a given location depends on surface area.
Transpiration moves moisture from the plant into the atmosphere.
The flowchart below shows one process by which moisture enters the atmosphere.
The last step of this process is known as
condensation
convection
radiation
transpiration
Which graph best represents the relationship between the moisture-holding capacity (ability to hold moisture) of the atmosphere and atmospheric temperature?
