Answer: F is correct - This is an accurate description of liquid water  being heated by the sun and becoming a gas in the air above the ocean via evaporation. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Answer: H is correct.- When salt water evaporates because of the sun's energy, all of the salts are left behind.

Answer: D is correct - Water vapor (a gas) forming droplets as it cools describes the process of condensation.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Answer 1: D is correct - There is a cold front moving towards Denver, which is currently experiencing a low-pressure system.                                    Answer 2: A is correct - Atlanta is far removed from an area of changing pressure and not near a weather front.

Answer: A is correct - When water vapor cools it condenses and turns into liquid water. The cold glass causes water vapor in the air to cool and turn into liquid water drops on the outside of the glass.
