Question

lesson 27 - understanding precipitation
which of the following is driven by energy from the sun?
(1 point)
groundwater flow
water collection
evaporation
precipitation

Explanation:

The sun's energy heats water on Earth's surface causing it to change from a liquid to a gas (evaporation). Groundwater flow is mainly due to gravity and pressure differences. Water collection is a human - or nature - driven process not directly powered by the sun. Precipitation occurs after evaporation and condensation, but the initial energy for evaporation (the key step in the water cycle related to the sun) is from the sun.

Answer:

Evaporation
