Which process is directly responsible for the formation of clouds in the water cycle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Condensation

The correct answer is B: condensation. Sunlight causes water to evaporate from oceans, lakes, soil and plants, adding water vapour to the atmosphere. As moist air rises, it expands and cools. When it cools sufficiently, water vapour changes into tiny liquid droplets or, in cold conditions, ice crystals. These particles gather around microscopic condensation nuclei such as dust or salt and form clouds. A is wrong because evaporation supplies vapour but does not itself make clouds. B is correct because the direct cloud-forming change is vapour becoming droplets or ice. C is wrong because infiltration is water entering the soil. D is wrong because runoff is water flowing over land. Memory cue: evaporation loads the air with vapour; condensation builds the cloud.
