Question

what would happen if there were no condensation stage in the water cycle? water could not convert from a gas to a liquid. water could not convert from a liquid to a gas. water could not convert from transpiration to evaporation. water could not convert from precipitation to evaporation.

Explanation:

The condensation stage in the water cycle is the process where water vapor (gas) cools and changes into liquid water (like forming clouds). So, without condensation, the conversion of water from gas to liquid wouldn't occur. The second option refers to evaporation (liquid to gas), which is a different process. The third and fourth options involve processes not related to condensation's role (transpiration to evaporation, precipitation to evaporation). So the correct option is the first one.

Answer:

A. Water could not convert from a gas to a liquid.
