During which specific stage of the water cycle is latent heat absorbed from the surroundings?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Evaporation process

Correct answer: B, evaporation. Latent heat is energy absorbed or released during a change of state while the temperature of the substance does not necessarily change. During evaporation, liquid water changes into water vapour. Energy is needed to separate water molecules from one another, so the water absorbs latent heat of vaporisation from sunlight, the surrounding air, or nearby surfaces. Option A, condensation, is the reverse change from vapour to liquid and generally releases latent heat to the surroundings. Option C, precipitation, is the falling of water as rain, snow or other forms; it is not the specific phase change that absorbs this heat. Option D is water flowing over land and does not require a liquid-to-gas change. Memory cue: evaporation absorbs; condensation releases.
