Select one:

a. Inputs from precipitation

Explanation / Answer

1. The process of a ____________ turning into a ______________ is called ________________.

Ans. a. gas; liquid; condensation.

d. liquid; gas; evaporation.

g. solid; gas; sublimation.

In case of sublimation, no intermediate liquid phase is present. Example: from snow/ ice to vapour.

2. Considering the change in water levels (change in storage) occurring at the Salton Sea, what is the largest component of the water budget equation?

Ans. d. Outputs from evapotranspitation.

Evapotranspiration is the process of evaporation and plant transpirstion. And in case of Salton Sea, evapotranspiration rate is much higher than the precipitation. So, here evaporation is the largest component of the water budget equation.
