Question

atmospheric moisture and precipitation quiz complete 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 clouds are formed when ○ sunlight causes water droplets to evaporate. ○ liquid water condenses on grass and windows. ○ raindrops freeze into tiny pellets and fall to earth. ○ water vapor in the air condenses to form liquid water or ice.

Explanation:

To determine how clouds form, we analyze each option:

• "sunlight causes water droplets to evaporate" describes evaporation, not cloud formation.
• "liquid water condenses on grass and windows" is dew/frost formation, not clouds.
• "raindrops freeze into tiny pellets and fall to Earth" is precipitation (like sleet), not cloud formation.
• "water vapor in the air condenses to form liquid water or ice" matches cloud formation: water vapor cools and condenses into tiny liquid or ice droplets in the atmosphere, forming clouds.

Answer:

The correct option (the fourth one, reading "water vapor in the air condenses to form liquid water or ice")
