Question

what would most likely 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 is about liquid to gas (which is evaporation), not condensation. The third and fourth options involve processes not related to the definition of condensation.

Answer:

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