Use the following information and photo to answer the next two questions.

This photo of Canada Place, in Vancouver, shows many dark clouds forming in the sky. Clouds form as a result of water turning from liquid form on the surface to vapour form in the air. When the vapour gets high into the sky, the water vapour turns back into liquid water, which we see as clouds.

Which of the following changes of state are responsible for the formation of clouds?
1. evaporation, condensation
2. sublimation, evaporation
3. condensation, sublimation
4. evaporation, deposition
At very high altitudes, the liquid water in a cloud can freeze and turn into snow. Which of the following changes of state occurs when snow forms?
1. solidification
2. condensation
3. sublimation
4. evaporation
Which change of state describes the change of state of a substance directly from a solid form to a gas form?
1. sublimation
2. deposition
3. melting
4. evaporation
The temperature at which a solid turns to liquid is known at the
1. melting point.
2. boiling point.
3. deposition point.
4. evaporation point.
What state of matter could be described as a "soup" of electrically charged particles?
1. plasma
2. gas
3. liquid
4. solid
