question 2 of 10
which of the following describes condensation?
choose one option
a water turns into steam or vapor and rises into the air.
b water in the air cools down and forms droplets.
c water in clouds falls down to earth’s surface.
d water that falls to earth’s surface is absorbed into the ground.

Explanation:

To determine the correct option for condensation, we analyze each choice:

• Option A describes evaporation (liquid to gas).
• Option B: Condensation is the process where water vapor (gas) cools and changes to liquid droplets (e.g., dew or cloud formation), matching the definition.
• Option C describes precipitation (water falling from clouds).
• Option D describes infiltration (water absorbing into the ground).

Answer:

B. Water in the air cools down and forms droplets.
