Question 6 • SC332 Environmental Science B

What would most likely happen if there were no condensation stage in the water cycle?

Answer
A
Water could not convert from a gas to a liquid.
B
Water could not convert from a liquid to a gas.
C
Water could not convert from transpiration to evaporation.
D
Water could not convert from precipitation to evaporation.

Explanation

Condensation is the process in which water vapor (a gas) cools and changes into liquid water. Without condensation, water could not make that gas-to-liquid change, so clouds and many forms of precipitation would not form normally. Choice A, “Water could not convert from a gas to a liquid,” describes this directly.
