The roof-garden puddle

Made-up story. At a roof garden, a shallow puddle is drawn as liquid water at the first review. Later the same marked patch has less visible liquid water. The story does not record a measured amount, a drain check or how much water soaked into the surface. Tali wants a possible explanation. A separate small water-cycle sketch shows ocean liquid, water vapour in air, cloud droplets and water falling from the cloud to land. Its arrows have no times attached.

Four questions

What could some liquid water become? Name the change.

Can we see water vapour itself?

Which change forms the sketch's cloud droplets? Which process takes water from the cloud to land?

What can't this puddle story tell us? Choose one gap.
