A) Collection B) Precipitation C) Evaporation Water vapor and steam changes into a liquid and forms clouds during collection.

B) Precipitation

False- Water vapor and steam changes into a liquid and forms clouds during Condensation.

C) Evaporation

Collection is when precipitation reaches earth and collects into oceans, lakes, rivers or onto land.

Evaporation is when the sun heats up the water in oceans, lakes, rivers or streams and turns it into vapor or steam. Then the vapor or steam goes into the air to form clouds.

Precipitation is when clouds get too heavy with condensation and water falls out of the cloud and back to the ground in different forms like rain, sleet, snow or hail.

Condensation is when the vapor or steam reaches the air and gets cold. Then the vapor or steam changes back into a liquid and forms clouds.

Condensation  Once the water vapor reaches the air it gets cold and changes back into a liquid and forms clouds.  The same thing happens when you are done with your shower and the mirror is cloudy with fog.

Precipitation

Evaporation The sun heats up water in oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams and turns it into vapor or steam. The vapor or steam leaves the water and goes into the air.

Collection  When the precipitation reaches the earth it may fall and collect into oceans, lakes, rivers or onto land until evaporation begins and the water cycle starts over.
