Alyssa takes two cups of water outside in the sun. Cup 1 is covered in plastic wrap and there is nothing on cup 2. Several hours later she brings both cups in. What happened to the water?

• The water level in cup 1 stayed the same because it's a closed system and cup 2 decreased due to evaporation.

• The water level in cup 1 increased because it's a closed system and cup 2 decreased due to evaporation
