Question

what process changes liquid water into water vapor?
○ evaporation
○ percolation
○ condensation
○ precipitation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Evaporation: The process of liquid turning into gas (vapor), so liquid water to water vapor fits.
• Percolation: Movement of water through soil, not a phase change.
• Condensation: Gas to liquid, opposite of what's needed.
• Precipitation: Water falling from clouds (liquid/solid), not liquid to vapor.

Answer:

A. Evaporation
