What is condensation?
-
Water vapor changing to liquid droplets in the air
-
When it is raining
-
The water in a lake
Correct Answer
A. Water vapor changing to liquid droplets in the airExplanation
Condensation refers to the process of water vapor changing into liquid droplets in the air. This occurs when warm air containing water vapor comes into contact with a cooler surface or air, causing the vapor to lose heat and transform into liquid form. This can be observed in various situations, such as when dew forms on grass in the morning or when clouds form in the atmosphere. It is important to note that condensation is not limited to rainy weather or bodies of water like lakes, as it can happen in any environment where there is a change in temperature and humidity.Rate this question:

What is evaporation?
-
Water changing from a gas to a liquid
-
Water changing from a liquid to a gas
-
Water chaning from a solid to a liquid
Correct Answer
A. Water changing from a liquid to a gasExplanation
Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state. This occurs when the water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid surface and enter the air as water vapor. Evaporation is a natural part of the water cycle and is influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, and air movement.Rate this question:

Condensation

Evaporation

Precipitation
Correct Answer
A. PrecipitationExplanation
Precipitation refers to the process in which condensed water vapor in the atmosphere falls to Earth's surface. It includes various forms such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This process occurs when the air becomes saturated with water vapor and the excess moisture condenses into droplets or ice crystals, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall under the influence of gravity. Therefore, precipitation is the correct answer as it accurately describes the phenomenon of condensed water falling to Earth's surface.Rate this question:

The three states of water are
-
Rain, lakes, clouds
-
Solid, liquid, gas
-
Drinking water, bath water, lake water
Correct Answer
A. Solid, liquid, gasExplanation
The correct answer is solid, liquid, gas. This is because water exists in three states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor). In the solid state, water molecules are tightly packed together and have a fixed shape and volume. In the liquid state, water molecules are less tightly packed and can flow, taking the shape of the container they are in. In the gas state, water molecules are widely spread apart and have no fixed shape or volume.Rate this question:
