A team of astronomers discovers a new planet with water. they notice that there is water in lakes, rivers, and oceans, but there are no clouds in the atmosphere. which part of the water cycle is missing? infiltration condensation precipitation transpiration

Respuesta :

The statement that best explains the state of the water cycle on the newly discovered planet where evaporation is "not working" is the final statement, "Water is frozen underground instead of flowing on the surface."

The simplest explanation of the water cycle is one that contains 3 stages:

  • Evaporation
  • Condensation
  • Precipitation

in that order. To answer the question, we will focus on Evaporation. Evaporation when referring to water is when water is heated to the point that it boils, this causes the water to transition from a liquid state into a gas, and escape into the atmosphere as water vapor.

What happens to water in the atmosphere as it rises?

  • Clouds are created when water vapor condenses in the atmosphere after rising into it.
  • Then it returns to the earth as precipitation. Ice and snow can also release moisture directly into the atmosphere.

Does water escape the atmosphere?

  • It is possible for water on Earth to escape into space as a vapor in our atmosphere.
  • But because some areas of the atmosphere are extremely cold, the water cannot escape. (For instance, the temperature of the atmosphere is as low as -60° Celsius at an altitude of 15 kilometers!)
