Question

drag the words into the boxes representing the correct processes of the water cycle.
runoff water
groundwater
lake
water absorbed by roots
transpiration
evaporation
condensation
precipitation

Explanation:

• A (Clouds): Condensation occurs when water vapor cools and turns into liquid droplets, forming clouds. So A is Condensation.
• B (Rain falling): Precipitation is water falling from clouds as rain, snow, etc. So B is Precipitation.
• C (Lake water rising as vapor): Evaporation is the process of liquid water turning into vapor, like from a lake. So C is Evaporation.
• D (Tree releasing water vapor): Transpiration is water vapor released from plant leaves (after roots absorb water). So D is Transpiration.

Answer:

• A: Condensation
• B: Precipitation
• C: Evaporation
• D: Transpiration
