Mike and Mariah are in the same science class. Mike wants to know how the water cycle transports energy and matter. Which of the following examples in Mariah's notebook should she share as the best example of how the water cycle transports both energy and matter? Water transforms from a solid to a liquid to a gas.

Water transported through the water cycle is never created or lost.

Water vapor precipitates back into the ocean or the land after heating.

Water vapor rises into the air where colder temperatures cause it to condense and form clouds.

Water vapor precipitates back into the ocean or the land after heating.

Explanation:

The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.

Water vapor precipitates back into the ocean or the land after heating

Explanation:

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
