Question

C. Describe the journey of a water molecule in a cloud as it makes its way to a lake. Include the movements and processes that take the molecule from the cloud to the land, and then to the lake. There are many possibilities; limit your answer to one
path.

Answer 1

The journey of a water molecule in a cloud as it makes its way to a lake is explained below:

• When the vapor in the cloud gets cold and cold then it changes back to a liquid form by the process called condensation.

• When the vapor gets cold enough to convert into ice crystals, it condenses with the tiny particles of dust and smoke.

• The sunlight warms the drop and evaporates it into the water vapor form.

• These drops combines with other drops and forms a bigger one and falls to the earth with the help of gravity.
