Question

lesson 15 - water cycle
what is it called when a gas turns into a liquid?
(1 point)
○ freezing
○ boiling
○ evaporation
○ condensation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Freezing: Liquid to solid (e.g., water to ice), not gas to liquid. Eliminate.
• Boiling: Liquid to gas (e.g., water to steam), opposite of what's asked. Eliminate.
• Evaporation: Liquid to gas (slow, like water drying), also opposite. Eliminate.
• Condensation: Gas to liquid (e.g., water vapor to liquid water, like on a cold glass). This matches the question.

Answer:

D. condensation
