Question

what happens after condensation to cause precipitation?
choose one option
a the sun heats water on the earth’s surface.
b water is absorbed into the ground.
c clouds fill with moisture and get too heavy.
d excess water runs downhill.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the water cycle steps. After condensation (where water vapor forms clouds), precipitation occurs when clouds become too heavy with moisture (water droplets or ice crystals) and gravity causes them to fall. Option A describes evaporation (not post - condensation), Option B is infiltration (after precipitation), and Option D is runoff (after precipitation). Only Option C explains the process leading to precipitation after condensation.

Answer:

C. Clouds fill with moisture and get too heavy.
