Question

Scott made a model of the water cycle by filling a tub with water, covering the tub with clear plastic, and placing a heat lamp over the tub. After a few days, he observed water droplets collecting on the plastic wrap. What process formed the water droplets in Scott's model?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - condensation.

Explanation:

When humid air comes in contact with the cold surface and we get the water in form of droplets, it is called condensation. In other words, condensation is the change of water vapor to the water exactly opposite of the evaporation process.

In the given experiment of Scott where droplets are collected on the plastic surface which simply illustrates the phenomenon of condensation as the water evaporated due to the heat of the lamp and condensed on the surface of plastic wrap.

Answer 2

Answer:

C
