Question

Which sequence of processes transports water from the atmosphere to the ocean and then back into a cloud?

precipitation ® condensation ® transpiration
evaporation ® condensation ® sublimation
precipitation ® evaporation ® condensation
evaporation ® precipitation ® condensation

Answer 1

Answer: Precipitation -> evaporation -> condensation

Explanation: precipitation is when it rains, so water is delivered by the atmosphere into the ocean. Evaporation happens when water in the ocean is heated up and returned to the atmosphere. Condensation occurs when water condenses due to pressure/temp differences creating clouds.
