Match the cycle element in column 1 with the characteristic in column 2 column 1 a. evaporation b. precipitation c. gravity d. uneven heating column 2 1. contributes to ocean currents 2. salt left behind 3. makes rivers flow 4. water falling

A- Evaporation --- Salt left behing

B. Precipitation  --- Water falling

C. Gravity  --- Makes rivers flow

D. Uneven heating --- Contributes to ocean currents

Explanation:

A- Evaporation is the transition from liquid to gaseous state. In climatology it is meant the transition from water in liquid phase at or above the earth's surface to gaseous phase (vapor in the atmosphere).

B- Precipitation is water in various forms that falls from the earth's atmosphere. Precipitation occurs in the form of rain, snow and hail. Humidity, condensation cores and cooling are required for precipitation to form.

C- Gravity is a natural phenomenon that causes all massive pieces to attract one another. The magnitude of this interaction, or force, depends on the masses and the distance of the pieces. This will, for example, cause objects to fall toward Earth, and keep satellites and celestial objects in orbits, such as the Earth's orbit around the Sun.

D- Uneven heating refers to the different temperatures that exist between the earth's surface, the sea and the atmosphere. These different temperatures, when they come into contact, produce winds, which contribute to the formation of sea currents.
