Explanation:
Let’s look at the water cycle diagram step by step.
1.
Sun shining on water: The sun heats up water (like in oceans, lakes, or rivers). This turns liquid water into water vapor (a gas). That process is called
Evaporation.
2.
Water vapor rises and forms a cloud: As the water vapor goes up into the air, it cools down and changes back into tiny liquid droplets — forming a cloud. That process is called
Condensation.
3.
Rain falling from the cloud: When the cloud gets heavy with water droplets, they fall as rain (or snow, sleet, etc.). That’s called
Precipitation.
Now match each box in the diagram:
- The box under the sun (with arrows going up from water) → this is where evaporation happens → label:
Evaporation
- The box inside the cloud → this is where condensation happens (vapor turning to liquid droplets) → label:
Condensation
- The box under the raindrops (where rain falls onto the ground/water) → this is precipitation → label:
Precipitation
So:
- Left box (under sun, arrows up):
Evaporation
- Middle box (inside cloud):
Condensation
- Right box (under rain):
Precipitation
Final Answer:
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation
