Question

once water vapor has been released into the atmosphere, it rises and cools, turning back into a liquid. what is this process called?
evaporation
condensation
fixation
precipitation

Explanation:

Evaporation is the process of liquid turning into vapor. Condensation is vapor turning back into liquid. Fixation is not related to water - state change here. Precipitation is when water (in various forms like rain, snow) falls from the atmosphere. Since the question is about vapor turning into liquid, it's condensation.

Answer:

condensation
