Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

The Hydrologic Cycle states that ( there is a fixed amount of water, there is a variable amount of water ). It begins with ( condensation, precipitation, evaporation ) of water from ( continents, oceans, mountains, mantle ). As it is ( rising, falling ) the water ( precipitates, evaporates, condenses ) and forms ( rivers., streams., clouds., steam. ) It travels around the world until it returns as ( precipitation, condensation, evaporation ).

Explanation

Question 20 of 31

1

Select one of the following:

Granitic magma has low silica content and thus cools faster underground, Basaltic magma has high silica content and is more likely to erupt at the surface.
Basaltic magma has low silica content and thus cools faster underground, Granitic magma has high silica content and is more likely to erupt at the surface.
