Between noon and 2 pm, the amount of water in the rain gauge decreased.
This can be caused by evaporation, which turns water into water vapor.
Precipitation would increase the amount of rain water in the gauges, not decrease it.
Condensation occurs after evaporation but wouldn't decrease the water in the gauges by itself.
Runoff is when water on land drains into water sources such as lakes, rivers, oceans, etc.
So the answer is A. evaporation.
Explanation:
Relation between potential energy and charge is as follows.
U = qV
or, 
= 
= 
J
or, = 
Therefore, we can conclude that change in the electrical potential energy 
is .
In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.
The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.
<h3>
Volume of each of the container</h3>
The volume of each of the container is calculated as follows;
<h3>Volume of the rectangular container</h3>
V = 5 in x 6 in x 3 in
V = 90 in³
<h3>Volume of the cylindrical container</h3>
V = πr²h
V = (π)(2.5 in)²(8 in)
V = 157.1 in³
<h3>Volume of the matter</h3>
Vm = 3 in x 4 in x 5 in
Vm = 60 in³
<h3>Matter in solid and liquid state</h3>
Matter has fixed volume in solid and liquid state.
In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.
<h3>Matter in gaseous state</h3>
Matter has no definite volume in gaseous state.
The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.
