Jen designed an investigation to determine the conditions that lead to the cycling of water. She started by drawing the diagram shown. Which statement best describes how the Sun affects the process found at Y?

• The Sun causes water to dissolve into the atmosphere where it forms clouds. Water falls from the clouds in the process of precipitation.

• The Sun causes water to dissolve into the atmosphere where it forms clouds. Water falls from the clouds in the process of condensation.

• The Sun causes water to evaporate into the atmosphere where it forms clouds. Water falls from the clouds in the process of precipitation.

• The Sun causes water to evaporate into the atmosphere where it forms clouds. Water falls from the clouds in the process of condensation.
