evaporation
precipitation
condensation
runoff

13 multiple choice 2 points
by which process do plants add water vapor to the atmosphere?
precipitation
transpiration
condensation
absorption

Explanation:

For question 12:

• Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor (like arrow W).
• Precipitation is water falling from clouds (rain, snow etc.), which is what arrow Y shows.
• Condensation is water vapor turning into liquid (like arrow X).
• Runoff is water flowing on land (like arrow Z).

For question 13:

• Precipitation is water falling from clouds.
• Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere.
• Condensation is water vapor turning into liquid.
• Absorption is water being taken in (e.g., by soil or roots, not releasing vapor).

Answer:

1. precipitation
2. transpiration
