Read the passage.
The water cycle is a sequence of steps that moves water around Earth. First, the Sun heats water in oceans, lakes, and rivers. Because the water warms up, it evaporates and becomes water vapor, an invisible gas in the air.
Next, the water vapor rises and cools. As a result, it condenses into tiny droplets that form clouds. When droplets join together and get heavy, precipitation happens. Water falls as rain or snow.
After that, water collects on the ground. Some water runs downhill into streams and rivers, and some soaks into the soil. Later, much of this water returns to the ocean, where the cycle can begin again.
Each step depends on the step before it. Without evaporation, there would be less water vapor, so fewer clouds would form.
What is the relationship between evaporation and condensation in the water cycle?
