1, condensation occurs when:
water is released from plants
ground water moves to the surface
surface water changes into water vapor
atmospheric water changes into precipitation
2, what happens to the precipitation that reaches land? select all that apply.
runs off into the oceans
runs off into streams and rivers
enters the water table of groundwater
taken up from shallow soil by plants
3, plants return water to the atmosphere through:
transpiration
perspiration
elimination
precipitation

1- Option (D)

2- Option (B) and (C)

3- Option (A)

Explanation:

The process of by which the water vapor is converted into liquid is known as condensation. It occurs when the hot air rises up in the atmosphere and then it gradually cools, resulting in the formation of liquid droplets. With continuous cooling of these air leads to the precipitation in the form of rainfall or snowfall.

When precipitation occurs, some of the water flows over the land surface in a gradually inclined plane, which is commonly known as the surface runoff. This water is added into the streams and rivers. In addition to this, some water in the recharge area, are percolated deep into the ground through the interconnected pores, that further flows and mixes up with the groundwater.

The plants also receive some amount of water from the roots that are transported to its entire body. The excess water is then released into the atmosphere by a process known as the transpiration process.

Hence, the correct answers are mentioned above.
