The figure shows four boxes. Box one is in the upper left and has the statement "Rising evaporated air forms condensed water particles." Box two is in the upper right and has the statement "Water from the lake evaporates." Box three is in the lower left and has the statement "The warm moist air rises into the atmosphere." Box four is in the lower right and has the statement "A lake absorbs heat from the sun."
