Question

water then collects in bodies of water or soaks into the soil, and the cycle begins again. this cycle helps move water and nutrients throughout ecosystems. condensation: as water vapor rises, it cools and changes back into liquid droplets. these droplets cluster together to form clouds in the atmosphere. what happens during condensation in the atmosphere? water evaporates from oceans and lakes into the air. water droplets fall from clouds as rain or snow. water vapor cools and changes to liquid droplets forming clouds.

Option A describes evaporation, not condensation. Option B describes precipitation. Only option C matches the description of condensation provided in the text.

Answer:

C. Water vapor cools and changes to liquid droplets forming clouds.
