Kristina Mcmahon · Answer 1

Water changes from a liquid to a gas.

Explanation:

location U: Water moving from a lake into the clouds.

location X: Water moving from ground to the clouds

In both cases, liquid water is transformed into gas water (steam) that then rise in the sky and form clouds.

Alexia Bond · Answer 2

The process described at locations U and X are Water changes from gas to liquid.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

Water cycle is a cyclical process when the water evaporates from the ground and then falls back on the ground in the form of rain or snow. The various stages of this process are water evaporating from lakes, ground, rivers and so on.

Then it goes up in the air, condenses. And from the condensation process, the clouds are formed. When they cool down up in the air, then the water falls back on the ground and precipitates from the cloud in the form of rain or in the form of snow.
