Explanation:
Let’s follow the water cycle step by step using the pictures and the four words:
Precipitation, Collection, Evaporation, Condensation.
1.
Bottom-left circle: Shows the sun shining over water (ocean/lake), with arrows going up from the water surface and fish swimming. This is
Evaporation — water turns into vapor (gas) because of heat from the sun.
2.
Top-left circle: Shows clouds forming in the sky. Water vapor rises, cools, and turns back into tiny liquid droplets to make clouds. That’s
Condensation.
3.
Top-right circle: Shows clouds with rain and lightning — water falling from the clouds. That’s
Precipitation (rain, snow, etc.).
4.
Bottom-right circle: Shows water on land — rivers, lakes, or runoff flowing into a body of water, and trees nearby. After precipitation, water gathers in lakes, rivers, oceans, or soaks into the ground. That’s
Collection.
Now match each circle to the correct word in order around the cycle (starting from bottom-left, going clockwise as arrows show):
- Bottom-left →
Evaporation
- Top-left →
Condensation
- Top-right →
Precipitation
- Bottom-right →
Collection
The arrows show the flow:
Evaporation → Condensation → Precipitation → Collection → (back to Evaporation)
So the blanks under each circle should be filled in that order.
Final Answer:
Bottom-left: Evaporation
Top-left: Condensation
Top-right: Precipitation
Bottom-right: Collection
