Question

12.15-test prep-water cycle study guide in the water cycle, rain, snow, or sleet falling to the ground is an example of: precipitation condensation evaporation transpiration

Explanation:

In the water cycle, precipitation is the process where water (in forms like rain, snow, sleet) falls from the atmosphere to the ground. Condensation is forming clouds, evaporation is liquid to gas (water to vapor), and transpiration is water loss from plants. So the correct process for rain/snow/sleet falling to ground is precipitation.

Answer:

precipitation (the option with "precipitation" text, corresponding to the first circular option in the list)
