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

It’s important to know the stages of matter and their phases. We’re starting off with liquid water. When it passes to gaseous water, it’s called evaporation. If gaseous water couldn’t condense (or turn back into liquid water) it’s stuck hanging out as a gas. How does water go from the air in our environment back to our ground/lakes/rivers/pools? By condensation and the collection of that condensate into clouds, which then precipitate as liquid rain back into the oceans.

The correct answer is b
