Question

use the words below to label these processes in the water cycle.
condensation precipitation surface runoff evaporation

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Evaporation

The arrow from the ocean with the sun indicates water turning to vapor, so this is evaporation.

Step2: Identify Condensation

The cloud formation (gas to liquid) is condensation, matching the arrow to the cloud.

Step3: Identify Precipitation

The falling water (rain) from the cloud is precipitation.

Step4: Identify Surface Runoff

The water flowing over the land (island) is surface runoff.

Answer:

• Left label: evaporation
• Top label: condensation
• Right label: precipitation
• Bottom label: surface runoff
