True or False:

_T__1. As water vapor rises in the troposphere is cools.

_F__2. Warm water vapor rises in the troposphere because it becomes less dense.

_F__3. Water vapor moves up in the air and forms clouds through transpiration.

_F__5. Transpiration occurs in animals.

_T__6. Water travels in an endless cycle.

_F__7. Dew is an example of evaporation.

_T__8. The formation of a cloud is due to condensation.
