Question

13 multiple choice 2 points the following question is based on the picture below. what does number 1 on the picture show? evaporation condensation rain erosion

Explanation:

Evaporation is the process where water changes from liquid to vapor. In the water cycle diagram, number 1 shows water (from the ocean) rising upwards. This upward movement of water in vapor form due to heat (from the sun shown in the diagram) is characteristic of evaporation. Condensation would involve water vapor cooling and forming clouds (not the upward - moving vapor shown by 1). Rain is precipitation (falling water, like what number 2 might represent if it were labeled as such). Erosion is the wearing away of land, which is not depicted by the upward - moving arrow over the ocean.

Answer:

Evaporation
