2. Oxygen because it has more mass
Answer:
Surface runoff and condensation
Explanation:
Let's define each of the given processes in order to understand them better:
- evaporation is a process in which liquid phase transforms into a gas phase;
- precipitation is a process in which we produce a solid phase, usually this is the case when we precipitate a salt out of a solution, analogy of precipitation for water would be transformation from a liquid to a solid phase, such as freezing;
- surface runoff is a process in which water flows over the surface of a land without any change in its phase;
- condensation is a process in which a gas transforms into a liquid.
All in all, notice that surface runoff keeps water in its liquid state, while all the other three options consider phase change. The only phase change of interest is condensation: we produce liquid water from water vapor and then we can analyze its movement in the liquid state.
Evaporating.
This is because evaporation occurs for things such as water coming in contact with a heat source that cause molecules to run crazy and begin to go farther and farther apart, becoming steam and evaporation in the air.
Therefore, during the process of evaporation, molecules become less condensed.
Hope this helps!
