During a science class, Priya and Scarlett learned about the water cycle. How does transpiration contribute to the water cycle?

• It increases the amount of water in the soil.

• It decreases the amount of water in the atmosphere.

• It releases water vapor into the atmosphere from plants.

• It converts water vapor directly into ice crystals.
