Question

Base your answers to questions 43 and 44 on the diagram below and on your knowledge of Earth science. The diagram represents the water cycle. Letters A through C represent different processes in the water cycle.

In order for process A to occur, liquid water must
(1) gain 334 Joules per gram
(2) gain 2260 Joules per gram
(3) lose 334 Joules per gram
(4) lose 2260 Joules per gram

Answer 1

from the map we can see that process A is the process of Evaporation of the water on the surface.

To evaporate, water must be heated (it gain energy)

And the amount that commonly used is around 2260 joules per gram

so the answer is option 2

Hope this helps
