The passage states that water exists in three states on Earth. Trace the changes in state of matter, from snow-capped mountain, through the water cycle, and finally back to the snow-capped mountain. A) melting snow; lliquid runoff; liquid water evaporates; water freezes; precipitation of frozen water (snow) back to Earth
B) solid snow melts; liquid water flows to oceans; water evaporates; water condenses to form clouds; snow falls back to Earth
C) solid snow melts; liquid water evaporates; gaseous water vapor condenses; water freezes; precipitation of frozen water (snow) back to Earth
D) solid snow melts; liquid water soaks into ground; plants take up water; water evaporates; water freezes; precipitation of frozen water (snow) back to Earth
