Front

What is a fair test in an experiment?

Back

A fair test is an experiment where only one variable is changed at a time while all other conditions are kept the same to ensure that the results are valid.

Front

What are the main steps of the water cycle?

Back

The main steps of the water cycle include evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

Front

What happens during precipitation in the water cycle?

Back

Precipitation occurs when water droplets in clouds combine to form larger droplets and fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Front

What is a warm front?

Back

A warm front is created when a warm air mass runs into a cold air mass, causing the warm air to rise over the cold air.

Front

What is the role of the sun in the water cycle?

Back

The sun provides energy that causes evaporation of water from surfaces, which is a key part of the water cycle.

Front

What type of surface is most reflective?

Back

White, flat, snowy, icy polar regions are the most reflective surfaces.

Front

How long does it take for the Earth to complete one revolution around the sun?

Back

It takes approximately 365 ¼ days for the Earth to make one complete revolution around the sun.

Front

What is condensation in the water cycle?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process where liquid water is heated and changes into water vapor, entering the atmosphere.

Front

What is surface runoff?

Back

Surface runoff is the flow of water that occurs when excess water from rain, melted snow, or other sources flows over the ground.
