Question

1. what happens to wally after he falls to the ground as precipitation?

a. he immediately evaporates back into the sky
b. he soaks into the soil through infiltration
c. he freezes into ice and stays on the surface
d. he turns into a cloud right away

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the water cycle. After precipitation (like rain, which Wally represents), infiltration is the process where water soaks into the soil. Option A is incorrect as evaporation isn't immediate from the ground. Option C is incorrect as not all precipitation freezes, and it's not the typical immediate process. Option D is incorrect as turning into a cloud (condensation) doesn't happen right away from the ground. So B is correct as infiltration (soaking into soil) is a common process after precipitation.

Answer:

B. He soaks into the soil through infiltration
