Sure, here are the steps mapped according to their numbers:
1. Transpiration
2. Percolation into soil
3. Runoff
4. Precipitation
5. Water vapor condensation
6. Evaporation
To map the steps correctly, let's rearrange them in the correct order:
1. Transpiration: This is the process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere through their leaves.
2. Percolation into soil: After precipitation falls onto the ground, some of it seeps into the soil, a process called percolation.
3. Runoff: When the soil becomes saturated or the precipitation is too intense, the excess water flows over the surface, creating runoff.
4. Precipitation: This is the process where moisture in the atmosphere condenses into droplets or ice crystals that become heavy enough to fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
5. Water vapor condensation: In the atmosphere, water vapor cools down and condenses into tiny droplets or ice crystals, forming clouds.
6. Evaporation: This is the process by which water from the Earth's surface, such as lakes, rivers, or the ocean, turns into water vapor and rises into the atmosphere.
Now that we have the correct order, we can see the steps numbered appropriately:
1. Transpiration
2. Percolation into soil
3. Runoff
4. Precipitation
5. Water vapor condensation
6. Evaporation
