These questions relate to the hydrologic (water) cycle, key processes, and its driving forces.

1. Evaporation is the phase change of liquid water to gas (water vapor).
2. Condensation is the phase change of water vapor back to liquid, forming clouds.
3. The four main types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
4. The ocean holds 97% of Earth's water, making it the main water source for the cycle.
5. Solar radiation provides the heat energy that drives evaporation and the entire water cycle.

Answer:

1. evaporation
2. condensation
