Question

the image shows a water cycle diagram with clouds, sun, rain, mountains, and trees. there are blue rectangular labels to be filled, and below are options: condensation, evaporation, precipitation, transpiration.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the process at the trees

The blue box above the trees with upward arrows represents the release of water vapor from plants, which is transpiration. So the label for the tree - related blue box is Transpiration.

Step2: Identify the process at the mountains

The blue box above the mountains with upward arrows represents the conversion of liquid water to water vapor from a large body of water (implied by the mountain context, maybe a lake or river nearby), this is evaporation. So the label for the mountain - related blue box is Evaporation.

Step3: Identify the process between clouds

The blue box between the clouds represents the process where water vapor cools and turns into liquid water droplets, forming clouds, this is condensation. So the label for the cloud - to - cloud blue box is Condensation.

Step4: Identify the process at the raining cloud

The blue box below the raining cloud represents the process where water falls from the clouds to the earth, this is precipitation. So the label for the raining cloud - related blue box is Precipitation.

Step5: Identify the process at the bottom right (water flow)

The blue arrow at the bottom right (flowing towards the trees/mountains) represents the flow of water on the surface (runoff) which is part of the water cycle, but since we have the given options, and the flow is bringing water back to the area for evaporation/transpiration, but in terms of the labels given, we already assigned the others. Wait, actually, the four labels are Condensation, Evaporation, Precipitation, Transpiration. So:

• Above trees: Transpiration (water vapor from plants)
• Above mountains: Evaporation (water vapor from water bodies)
• Between clouds: Condensation (water vapor to liquid in clouds)
• Below raining cloud: Precipitation (water falling from clouds)
• The horizontal arrow at the bottom: Runoff (but not in the given labels, but our focus is on the blue boxes with the upward arrows and the ones between clouds and below the rain cloud).

Answer:

• Above trees: Transpiration
• Above mountains: Evaporation
• Between clouds: Condensation
• Below raining cloud: Precipitation
