Imagine Daniel, Oliver, and Lily are on a hot air balloon ride. They notice that as they rise higher, the air gets cooler. Can you explain how this phenomenon contributes to the formation of rain?

• Warm air turns into snow instead of rain

• Warm air sinks and evaporates to form rain

• Warm air rises, cools, and condenses to form rain

Imagine James, Kai, and Isla are playing in the rain. They start wondering, how does this rain help in replenishing groundwater?

• James thinks, 'Rainwater evaporates and turns into clouds'

• Kai suggests, 'Rainwater flows into rivers and lakes'

• Isla believes, 'Rainwater causes soil erosion and reduces groundwater'

• Or is it that, 'Rainwater percolates through the soil and recharges the underground aquifers'

Mia, Aria, and Anika are having a debate about the rain cycle. Can you help them understand it better?

• The rain cycle, also known as the water cycle, involves the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

• The rain cycle is caused by the rotation of the Earth.

• Rain is formed when clouds collide with each other.

• The rain cycle is a result of the Earth's magnetic field.

Imagine Mason, Lily, and Maya are on a camping trip and they see rain clouds forming. They start discussing how rain is formed. Can you help them understand the process of condensation in the formation of rain?

• Mason says, 'Condensation occurs when the sun heats up the water and turns it into rain.'

• Lily thinks, 'Condensation is the process of water evaporating into the air to form rain.'

• Maya believes, 'Condensation happens when clouds gather and release raindrops.'

• Or is it that 'Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air cools and turns into liquid water droplets, which then gather to form clouds. When the droplets become too heavy, they fall to the ground as rain.'
