Identify the process in the water cycle that is involved in the given statements.
___________1. Through this process, water from different bodies of water rises into the air.
___________2. Water from the plants also rises to the air through transpiration.
___________3. The formation of clouds continues to happen as long as water vapor undergoes this process.
___________4. As the vapor continues to cool down, it will turn into a water droplet.
___________5. The clouds will pour out as water in the form of rain or pour out as ice in the form of snow.

Together, evaporation, transpiration, and sublimation, plus volcanic emissions, account for almost all the water vapor in the atmosphere that isn’t inserted through human activities. While evaporation from the oceans is the primary vehicle for driving the surface-to-atmosphere portion of the hydrologic cycle, transpiration is also significant. For example, a cornfield 1 acre in size can transpire as much as 4,000 gallons of water every day.
After the water enters the lower atmosphere, rising air currents carry it upward, often high into the atmosphere, where the air is cooler. In the cool air, water vapor is more likely to condense from a gas to a liquid to form cloud droplets. Cloud droplets can grow and produce precipitation (including rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and hail), which is the primary mechanism for transporting water from the atmosphere back to the Earth’s surface.
