Which of the following explains how water undergoes a change of state in one stage of the water cycle in order to move from the ocean’s surface into the air?

• Liquid water that is heated by the sun becomes a gas and rises.

• Gaseous water rises as it is cooled by the ocean.

• Liquid water that is heated by the sun condenses into rain.

• Gaseous water collects in drops of fog above the ocean’s surface.

Which statement correctly describes how a landform is formed?

• A lake is formed when flowing water carves out the sides of a canyon.

• A mountain range is formed when glaciers slowly move across the landscape.

• A delta is formed at the mouth of a river when flowing water slows and deposits sediment.
