Question

in water cycle, what processes return water vapor to the atmosphere?
transpiration and evaporation
transpiration and precipitation
transpiration and condensation

Explanation:

Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas (water - vapor) at the surface of bodies of water. Transpiration is the process by which plants release water - vapor into the atmosphere through their leaves. Condensation is the process by which water - vapor changes back to a liquid, and precipitation is water falling from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. So, transpiration and evaporation return water vapor to the atmosphere.

Answer:

Transpiration and evaporation
