In which example is a living thing taking in water from a nonliving thing? Select one:

1.Water from a lake evaporating and becoming water vapor.

2.Water from a cloud falling back to the earth as rain.

3.A cow drinking water from a stream.

4.A deer getting water from a plant as it eats the plant’s leaves.

Explanation:

For the water cycle to work, water has to get from the Earth's surface back up into the skies so it can rain back down and ruin your parade or water your crops or yard. It is the invisible process of evaporation that changes liquid and frozen water into water-vapor gas, which then floats up into the skies to become clouds.

Note: This section of the Water Science School discusses the Earth's "natural" water cycle without human interference.

1. they vary with a higher number because boiling is way hotter than melting

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
