Mr. Powell is demonstrating the water cycle. He shapes mountains out of clay on one end of a glass aquarium to represent land. He then pours some water into the aquarium and places a glass lid on it. Next, he turns on a lamp above the aquarium and, finally, he places a container filled with ice on the glass lid. In this model, which choice correctly identifies evidence of condensation?


a - water droplets falling on the clay

b - less water in the bottom of the aquarium

c - water running from the clay into the water

d - water forming on the lid under the container

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! this is due in 5 mins and this is my only question left o_o

Answer 1

Answer: d - water forming on the lid under the container

Step-by-step explanation:

Condensation is the process that describes the change of state of water from gas to liquid. It happens in the water cycle when water vapor gets to the atmosphere and due to the lower temperatures turns into liquid water that then forms clouds.

In the demonstration, the container is meant to be the clouds so when water forms under the container, that is condensation happening because the water vapor has not turned back to liquid after leaving the aquarium water as water vapor.
