The creek-model visitor

Made-up story. A visitor to a pretend creek exhibition asks, “How could water from the sea reach land as rain?” A model card lists: sea liquid → evaporation → invisible water vapour in air → condensation → cloud droplets → precipitation → land water. A second branch shows cloud precipitation to sea instead. The model has no amounts or travel times and is not a weather forecast. The visitor wants a short useful explanation, not a prediction about tomorrow. You may use a drawing, labels, speech, signing, dictation or typed words.

Four questions

1. Make a short answer for this visitor using the three process names.

2. What does the second branch change?

3. Who is your explanation for, and what question does it help answer?

4. Give one useful limit for the visitor.
