Heat energy from the sun heats water on earth’s surface. The heated water evaporates and the water vapor rises into the air. As
the water vapor rises, it cools and condenses around dust particles, and returns to earth’s surface as precipitation. This is a A.
the water cycle
B.
the oxygen cycle
C.
the heat cycle
D.
the carbon cycle
Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. These clouds may produce precipitation, which is the primary route for water to return to the Earth's surface within the water cycle. Condensation is the opposite of evaporation.
