Question

Modeling the Water Cycle
Jacie made a model to show the water cycle. The model she made is shown below.



Multiple Choice Question
Which process in the model represents condensation?

A.
As water vapor transfers heat to ice cubes, it forms clear droplets outside the plastic wrap.

B.
As water vapor gains heat from ice cubes, it forms clear droplets outside the plastic wrap.

C.
As water vapor transfers heat to ice cubes, it forms colored droplets inside the plastic wrap.

D.
As water vapor gains heat from ice cubes, it forms colored droplets inside the plastic wrap.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A. As water vapor transfers heat to ice cubes, it forms clear droplets outside the plastic wrap.

This option describes the process of condensation, where water vapor cools and changes into liquid droplets. The transfer of heat to the ice cubes causes the water vapor to lose energy and condense into droplets.
