2. Which part of the hydrologic cycle (water cycle) would be responsible for the warm mois

air over the Gulf of Mexico causing precipitation over the state of Ohio?

Condensation

Explanation:

The water cycle (also known as the hydrologic cycle) is the name given to the continuous movement of water on Earth. Our planet has many reservoirs of water, such as glaciers, lakes, rivers, and clouds, and water moves constantly between these different reservoirs. Several processes allow for this movement, including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow.

The process of condensation occurs when water changes from a gas phase into a liquid phase. This is often expressed in the form of rain. Therefore, this is the process that is responsible for the warm moist air over the Gulf of Mexico causing precipitation over the state of Ohio.
