A. Evaporation
B. Precipitation
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Precipitation is rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.

Precipitation occurs during the water cycle when the air can no longer hold the water that has evaporated. The clouds get heavy and the evaporated water falls back to the Earth as precipitation.

On the other hand, evaporation is the process of water changing into a gas. When the sun heats up the waters in oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water, it turns into vapor or steam. During evaporation, liquid water changes to a gas and goes into the air.
