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 droplets outside the plastic wrap.

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

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

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

Answer 1

The process that represents condensation is when water vapor cools and forms droplets. Therefore, the correct answer is:

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

This indicates that the water vapor is losing heat (cooling) and forming droplets, which is characteristic of the condensation process.
