Condensation helped to form early oceans when water vapor in clouds begin to cool. The temperature on early Earth was important to the early oceans. What would have happened if the temperature of early Earth had heated significantly soon after the oceans formed?

The water in the ocean would have evaporated.
The water in the ocean would have undergone sublimation.
The water in the ocean would have percolated down into the soil.
The water in the ocean would have undergone evapotranspiration.

The correct answer is option A

The water in the ocean would have evaporated. Condensation was the reason for the formation of clouds and rain at that time. The temperature at that time was in the favor for the formation of ocean. Then, the ocean was formed and if the temperature could have increased soon after the oceans were formed. The water could have evaporated from the oceans.
