Evaporation and condensation

Question 1

Which sentence uses the words "water vapour" and "precipitation" correctly?

Accepted Answer

Water vapour rises into the sky, cools, and becomes precipitation that falls as rain.

Answer

Water vapour falls from clouds as precipitation and then spreads over the ground.

Question 2

Maya sees a puddle on the playground in the morning. By noon the puddle is smaller and fluffy clouds appear. Later that evening it rains and the water flows into a nearby stream. Which sentence below uses at least four water‑cycle words in the correct order?

Accepted Answer

The sun caused evaporation, the water vapor rose and formed clouds through condensation, then precipitation fell, and the water collected in the stream.

Answer

Water vapor rose from the puddle, then it turned into groundwater, later it became precipitation, and finally it evaporated again.

Answer

The sun made the water evaporate, then the water ran downhill as runoff, later it turned into clouds by condensation, and finally it became precipitation.

Answer

The puddle evaporated, the water turned into clouds by transpiration, then the clouds melted into rain, and the water seeped into the ground.
