The terms evaporation, precipitation, and condensation are associated with C. water cycle. These processes are essential components of the water cycle, which describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.
- Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a vapor.
- Condensation is the process by which water vapor cools and changes back into liquid, forming clouds.
- Precipitation is the process by which water falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
These processes work together to recycle water in the environment.
