Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When warm, evaporated air rises, it cools and begins to turn into liquid again. This part of the water cycle is called:
A
a:transpiration
B
b:precipitation
C
c:runoff
D
d:condensation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process where water vapour gets cooled down into water droplets is called condensation. When air rises, because of the drop in temperature, water vapour within it cools to form clouds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor. Condensation happens one of two ways: Either the air is cooled to its dew point or it becomes so saturated with water vapor that it cannot hold any more water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water; it’s the opposite of evaporation. Condensation is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.

Detailed explanation-4: -The answer is evaporative cooling. Turning a liquid such as sweat from its liquid state into a gas requires energy. This energy is taken from our body, or sweat, in the form of heat. The resulting heat transfer leads to the desired cooling effect.

Detailed explanation-5: -Distillation is the process of vaporizing a liquid and recovering it by condensing the vapors. The liquid formed by this condensation is called the distillate.
