To solve this problem, we need to match the descriptions of each part of the water cycle with the corresponding numbers in the image. Let's analyze each step:
Image Analysis:
1.
Number 1: Arrows pointing upward from the ocean surface, indicating water vapor rising.
2.
Number 2: Clouds in the sky.
3.
Number 3: Rain falling from the clouds onto the land.
4.
Number 4: Water collected in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Descriptions:
1.
Evaporation: The warmth of the sun turns the ocean water into vapor and makes it go up into the air.
- This matches
Number 1 because it shows water vapor rising from the ocean surface.
2.
Precipitation: Clouds get full and heavy, and the water falls back to the earth in the form of snow, rain, sleet, or fog.
- This matches
Number 3 because it shows rain falling from the clouds onto the land.
3.
Collection: The water is collected in rivers, lakes, oceans, or ends up on land.
- This matches
Number 4 because it shows water collected in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
4.
Condensation: The water vapor in the air gets cool and turns back into liquid, forming clouds.
- This matches
Number 2 because it shows clouds in the sky, which are formed by condensation.
Final Matching:
-
Evaporation: Circle
1
-
Precipitation: Circle
3
-
Collection: Circle
4
-
Condensation: Circle
2
Solution:
- Evaporation:
1
- Precipitation:
3
- Collection:
4
- Condensation:
2
Thus, the correct matching is:
- Evaporation:
1
- Precipitation:
3
- Collection:
4
- Condensation:
2
Final Answer:
\boxed{1, 3, 4, 2}
