Answer:

Condensing...

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 water cycles, evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection, are what is happening here...... at least one of them. Condensation is when "water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it" as defined in the dictionary or in this case, when a subject is changing from a vapor to a liquid. I hope this helps!

Answer:

condensation

Step-by-step explanation:

Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid water. Condensation generally occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and looses its capacity to hold water vapor. As a result, excess water vapor condenses to form cloud droplets.

Condensation is the reverse of vaporization.
