Following the evaporation stage of the water cycle, the evaporated water a) is replaced. b) forms clouds. c) precipitates to the ground. d) is stored in a lake or stream.

The correct answer is option B) forms clouds.

Explanation:

In simple words, evaporation is the transformation of a liquid into a gaseous state.

The water cycle generates a continuous movement of the existing water on our planet.

In this case, the liquid water becomes steam when it receives a temperature of 100 °.

This happens because the water is formed by bonds of molecules that are broken by heat.

After this process it happens that the steam is transformed into drops of liquid water and remains in the air, leading to the formation of clouds. We know that the clouds are composed of drops of liquid water, so when high temperatures occur, the heat evaporates again to these drops, and the process continues constantly.

force tends to be low and long diustance masses are high
