Answers
GPT-4o mini
Here are the answers based on the questions and context provided:
1. **Meaning of prefixes hydro– and hydra–**
Correct Answer: **C - Water**
(Both prefixes are associated with water.)
2. **Definition of hydrosphere**
Correct Answer: **A - The total amount of water on Earth**
(Given the context of the other "spheres," it aligns with Earth-related terminology and implies water.)
3. **Word pairs related to the water cycle**
- Verb: **Condense** | Noun: **Condensation**
- Verb: **Evaporate** | Noun: **Evaporation**
- Verb: **Precipitate** | Noun: **Precipitation**
- The second noun, **Particle**, does not relate to an action.
- The word **Percentage** does not fit the context of the water cycle.
4. **Image that shows evaporation**
Unfortunately, without the images to choose from, I can't specifically identify the correct image. However, evaporation usually shows water vapor rising or water turning into gas.
5. **Scenario that describes condensation**
Correct Answer: **B - A mirror fogging up after a hot shower**
(This illustrates the process of water vapor cooling and forming liquid water.)
6. **Commonality of meanings of precipitation**
Correct Answer: **C - They involve falling downward**
(All meanings relate to the act of something falling, whether it be water or an object.)
