Question

1. condensation
2. evaporation

transpiration

1. precipitation

4.
(image shows a water cycle diagram with numbers 2, 3, 4 and a tree, pond, clouds, etc.)

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the water cycle processes:

• Step 2: The cloud (label 2) is related to evaporation (water turning to vapor) or transpiration (plant - water vapor), but evaporation is more general for water bodies. Wait, no—label 2's cloud: condensation is 1. Wait, label 3 has falling water, so 3 is Precipitation (rain, snow, etc.). Label 4: the tree with water droplets—transpiration (plants releasing water vapor). Label 2: evaporation (water from pond turning to vapor to form clouds). Wait, let's re - order:

1. Condensation (cloud formation from vapor).
2. Evaporation (water from pond becomes vapor, leading to condensation).
3. Precipitation (water falling from clouds, like the droplets at 3).
4. Transpiration (tree releasing water vapor, as seen at 4).

So for label 2: Evaporation; label 3: Precipitation; label 4: Transpiration. Let's confirm each:

• Label 2: The cloud is formed from water vapor, which comes from evaporation (water from the pond evaporates).
• Label 3: The falling droplets are precipitation (rain).
• Label 4: The tree with water droplets is transpiration (plants lose water as vapor).

Answer:

1. Evaporation
2. Precipitation
3. Transpiration
