Question

1. practice: fill in the two processes that cause each of the following transitions.

a. ocean → cloud

b. cloud → glacier

1. think and discuss: water covers over two - thirds of earths a major problem for many people

Explanation:

Part A: Ocean → Cloud

For the transition from ocean to cloud, the first process is evaporation (liquid water in the ocean turns to water vapor) and the second is condensation (water vapor rises, cools, and condenses into cloud droplets).

For cloud to glacier, the first process is precipitation (water falls from clouds as snow/rain) and the second is accumulation/compaction (snow accumulates over time, compacts into ice, and forms a glacier).

Answer:

Evaporation, Condensation

Part B: Cloud → Glacier
