Refer to the diagram of the water cycle to fill in the blanks below. In Process A of the water cycle, water is converted from its liquid form from oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water into its gaseous form in the atmosphere. This is called [ Select ] percolation precipitation condensation transpiration evaporation . The process in which water exits from the surfaces of plants is called Process B. [ Select ] percolation precipitation condensation transpiration evaporation . In Process C, the water vapor in the air is converted into liquid water, which results in the formation of clouds. This is called [ Select ] percolation precipitation condensation transpiration evaporation . In Process D, water is returned from the atmosphere to the surface of Earth in the forms of rain, snow, sleet, hail, etc. This is called [ Select ] percolation precipitation condensation transpiration evaporation . The process in which water travels downward through the spaces of rocks and soil particles is called Process E. [ Select ] percolation precipitation condensation transpiration evaporation .

Step-by-Step Analysis
The prompt asks us to fill in five blanks in a water cycle diagram, matching each process with the correct term from the list. We will assess each option in turn across all five processes. Process A: The description says water is converted from liquid in oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water into its gaseous form in the atmosphere. This description matches evaporation, where surface water gains enough energy to become water vapor and enter the air. Process B: This process is described as water exiting from the surfaces of plants. That is the classic definition of transpiration, the release of water vapor from plant leaves via stomata. Process C: Here, water vapor in the air is converted into liquid water, leading to cloud formation. This phase change from vapor to liquid is condensation, a key step in clo......Login to view full explanation
