Cycle. Then you will watch an animated model of the cycle. Questions

2. What is the relationship between convection and condensation?

3. What happens as precipitation sinks into the earth?

4. How does water return to the ocean?

*MARK AS BRAINLIEST PLS Answer 1: When water at the ocean's surface is heated by the Sun it gains energy. With enough energy, the molecules of liquid water change into water vapor and move into the air. ... Wherever water is heated by the Sun, evaporation can occur. Water evaporates from lakes, rivers, puddles, soil, and even your body.
Answer 2: Convection in the water cycle is when the air near the surface is heated, then rises taking heat with it. Condensation: Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. Condensation is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.
Answer 3: Rain falls to the earth from clouds and runs downhill into rivers and lakes. Eventually the water flows into the ocean. During evaporation, the water turns from liquid into gas, and moves from oceans and lakes into the atmosphere where it forms clouds. The cycle starts all over again.
Answer 4: The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. ... Most precipitation falls back into the oceans or onto land, where, due to gravity, the precipitation flows over the ground as surface runoff.
