  4. What is the cycle in which Earth’s water moves through the environment? • Oxygen Nitrogen Cycle • Life Cycle • Stream • Water Cycle 0 of 5

  5. Water Cycle:The cycle in which Earth’s water moves through the environment.

  6. What is the process by which a gas changed back into a liquid? • Evaporation • Condensation • Precipitation • Atmospheric Pressure 0 of 5

  7. Condensation:the process by which a gas changed back into a liquid.

  8. What is The process by which a liquid turns into a gas? • Condensation • Evaporation • Precipitation • Metamorphosis 0 of 5

  9. Evaporation:The process by which a liquid turns into a gas.

  10. What is avisible collection of tiny water droplets or, at colder temperatures, ice crystals floating in the air above the surface. • Clouds • Climate • El Nino • Wind 0 of 5

  11. Clouds:A visible collection of tiny water droplets or, at colder temperatures, ice crystals floating in the air above the surface. Clouds come in many different sizes and shapes. Clouds can form at ground level, which is fog, at great heights in the atmosphere, and everywhere in between. Clouds offer important clues to understanding and forecasting the weather.
