Rigor mortis was not evident, and the body’s temperature was 15.6 ˚C. Livor mortis showed noticeable reddening on the victim’s back that did not disappear when pressed. Her lungs were filled with water.

Describe the change in phase and temperature as water moves from the oceans to the atmosphere and then returns to earth again as rain. a) evaporation : temperature increases; condensation : temperature decreases; precipitation (rain) : temperature decreases b) evaporation : temperature increases; condensation : temperature decreases; precipitation (rain) : temperature increases c) evaporation : temperature decreases; condensation : temperature decreases; precipitation (rain) : temperature decreases d) evaporation : temperature increases; condensation : temperature increases; precipitation (rain) : temperature decreases
