Question

use the information below to answer the following question(s). students placed 250 milliliters of water in three identical containers. container 1 had a tightly sealed lid and was placed on a classroom counter. container 2 had no lid and was placed on a classroom table. container 3 had no lid and was placed on a table outside in the shade. the students measured the amount of water in each container at the end of each day for four days. their results are shown in the data table below. volume of water in three containers table with container, starting volume(ml), end of day 1(ml), end of day 2(ml), end of day 3(ml), end of day 4(ml) columns and rows for container 1 (250, 250, 250, 250, 248), container 2 (250, 242, 219, 203, 188), container 3 (250, 219, 172, 125, 63) which process changes evaporated water into liquid water? options: competition, condensation, erosion, precipitation

Explanation:

To determine the process that changes evaporated water (water vapor, a gas) into liquid water, we analyze each option:

• Competition: Relates to organisms competing for resources, not water phase changes. Eliminate.
• Condensation: By definition, condensation is the process where water vapor (evaporated water) cools and changes from a gas to a liquid. This matches the question's requirement.
• Erosion: Involves the wearing away of land by natural forces, not water phase changes. Eliminate.
• Precipitation: Is liquid or solid water falling from the atmosphere (e.g., rain, snow), which is the result of condensation, not the process of converting vapor to liquid. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. condensation
