Question

which statement is an example of precipitation?
water from a river enters the ocean
water from a cloud falls to the ground
water in a puddle soaks into the ground
water in a cup is heated and enters the air

Explanation:

Precipitation is the process where water falls from clouds to the Earth's surface (ground, ocean, etc.). Let's analyze each option:

• "water from a river enters the ocean" is runoff.
• "water from a cloud falls to the ground" matches precipitation (water falling from clouds as rain, snow, etc.).
• "water in a puddle soaks into the ground" is infiltration.
• "water in a cup is heated and enters the air" is evaporation.

Answer:

B. water from a cloud falls to the ground
