A student makes a poster of the water cycle for a presentation for his class, as shown. The four major systems of Earth are represented by numbers, and the various processes of the water cycle are labeled in his model.
While the energy from sunlight is the force that drives the water cycle, another force propelling the water cycle is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. The gravity exerted by Earth pulls matter downward to Earth's center. Also, the path of the water cycle interconnects many of Earth's systems. Water in different states is transferred between systems in a constant cycle.

How does the Sun help to maintain the amount of freshwater found on land in the water cycle?
The Sun causes salt water to filter through fine soils on land and to collect in large pools.
The Sun causes frozen water in glaciers to regularly transpire and release freshwater onto land.
The Sun causes freshwater to condense deep in the bottoms of lakes so that it never evaporates.
The Sun causes freshwater to evaporate from salt water and some of the freshwater precipitates back onto land.

The weather map shows a 24-hour forecast for the United States.
Which table correctly lists the most likely type of weather each state will experience?
Which describes the processes involved in causing rain?
Warm air moves in below cool air, pushing the cool air up, which causes clouds to form and rain to fall.
Cool air moves in above warm air, pushing the warm air down, which causes clouds to form and rain to fall.
As warm air rises, it cools, causing water to condense on dust particles and form clouds. The water eventually falls as rain.
As cool air rises, it warms, causing water to condense and form clouds. The water molecules eventually fall as rain.
