detail recall - water cycle

Definition

Recalling specific details from a passage

Example

The water cycle begins when the sun heats water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, causing it to evaporate into the air. The water vapor rises and cools, forming clouds through a process called condensation. When the clouds become heavy with moisture, water falls back to Earth as rain or snow, which is called precipitation. What causes water to evaporate at the start of the water cycle?
