Before sharing the diagram with classmates, the student must label the diagram. Which group of words would the student most likely use to label the diagram? A. carbon, fossil fuels, and ozone. B. oxygen, transpiration, and carbon dioxide. C. magma, sulfur dioxide, and acid rain. D. infiltration, evaporation, and precipitation.

Question

Use the scenario to answer the question.  A student draws a diagram to show how water travels through the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, and the atmosphere.  Before sharing the diagram with classmates, the student must label the diagram.  Which group of words would the student most likely use to label the diagram?  A. carbon, fossil fuels, and ozone.  B. oxygen, transpiration, and carbon dioxide.  C. magma, sulfur dioxide, and acid rain.  D. infiltration, evaporation, and precipitation.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The student is illustrating how water travels through different Earth systems, which involve processes related to the movement of water. Therefore, the most suitable group of words to label the diagram would be:

D. infiltration, evaporation, and precipitation.

These terms specifically relate to the water cycle and how water is absorbed into the ground (infiltration), changes from liquid to vapor (evaporation), and falls back to the ground as rain (precipitation).
