If you had continued following the water molecule in the water cycle activity, what step do you predict would have occurred next, and why? (2 points)
a. transpiration, because water returns back to the atmosphere infiltration,
b. because water evaporates from the plant leaves respiration,
c. because water combusts and enters the soil precipitation,
d. because water is released from the clouds back to earth

option D is the correct answer, precipitation and it is because water is being released from the cloud into the earth.

Explanation:

PRECIPITATION is the process by which water condenses in the atmosphere. Precipitation can occur in form of snow,fog, dew,rain etc.

Atmospheric water is found in clouds and water vapor. Gradually and systematically the entire atmosphere rotates around the planet. When weather is being formed one of the most common results is precipitation.

In the water molecule activity here, precipitation will occur because water is being released from the atmosphere into the earth.
