The correct order of the events for the water cycle on a typical warm day is:
evaporation, condensation, precipitation.
So the correct answer is C.
- Evaporation: Water from bodies of water (like lakes or oceans) evaporates into the atmosphere as water vapor.
- Condensation: This water vapor cools and condenses to form clouds.
- Precipitation: Eventually, the clouds release the water in the form of rain (or other forms, depending on the temperature).
