Let’s go step by step to label the water cycle diagram using the word bank.

We have these words to use:
- Rivers and streams
- precipitation
- runoff
- underground water
- sea
- wind
- sun
- evaporation
- condensation

Now, let’s look at each blank box in the diagram (from top right going clockwise, then bottom):

1. Top right – the sun → The big circle with rays is clearly the sun. It heats up water to start evaporation.

2. Below the sun – arrows rising from water surface → These wavy arrows show water turning into vapor and rising. That’s evaporation.

3. Above that – cloud forming from vapor → When water vapor cools and turns into clouds, that’s condensation.

4. Left side – rain falling from cloud onto mountains/land → Rain, snow, etc., falling from clouds is called precipitation.

5. Bottom left – water flowing over land toward river/sea → This is water running off the surface after rain — that’s runoff.

6. Next to runoff – a river or stream flowing → The winding line of water on land is rivers and streams.

7. Underground – arrow showing water moving below ground → Water soaking into soil and moving underground is underground water.

8. Big body of water on right – where rivers flow into → That’s the sea (or ocean).

9. Arrow between two clouds – pointing left → This shows air/wind moving clouds from one place to another → that’s wind.

Wait — let’s count the boxes in the diagram:

Looking again at the image description (even though I can’t see it, based on standard water cycle diagrams and your layout):

There are 9 blanks? Let me list them as they likely appear:

Actually, let’s map them logically by position:

From your original problem setup, here’s how the labels should match:

Top-right circle (sun) → sun

Below sun, arrows going up from water → evaporation

Cloud above those arrows → condensation

Left-side cloud raining down → precipitation

Arrow between clouds (moving left) → wind

River/stream on land → rivers and streams

Water flowing over land into river → runoff

Underground arrow → underground water

Large body of water on right → sea

That’s all 9 terms used.

Now, let’s assign them to the boxes in order as they probably appear in the diagram (based on typical layout):

Assuming the diagram has boxes placed like this:

1. Sun → label: sun

2. Evaporation arrows → label: evaporation

3. Condensation cloud → label: condensation

4. Precipitation (rain) → label: precipitation

5. Wind (arrow between clouds) → label: wind

6. Rivers and streams → label: rivers and streams

7. Runoff (surface flow) → label: runoff

8. Underground water → label: underground water

9. Sea → label: sea

All words from the bank are used exactly once.

Final Answer:
sun, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, wind, rivers and streams, runoff, underground water, sea
