Water Phase

The water cycle is shown in the diagram. What would most likely happen if all evaporation of water stopped?

• Runoff would increase.

• More clouds would form.

• No precipitation would fall.

• Moist air would be in the atmosphere.

Analyze the diagram of the water cycle with processes J, K, L, M, X, and Y labeled. What is significant about the process labeled L?

• Condensation is the conversion of water vapor into water droplets.

• Precipitation is the release of liquid or frozen forms of water from the atmosphere.

• Evaporation is the conversation of surface water into water vapor to return to the atmosphere.

• Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants back into the water cycle.
