Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by plant roots, moves through plants, and is released as water vapor through pores in leaves.

Front

How does the sun's energy affect transpiration in plants?

Back

Increased energy from the sun increases transpiration.

Front

What happens to ocean evaporation if more of the sun's rays penetrate the atmosphere?

Back

The evaporation of oceans is likely to increase.

Front

What is the typical temperature increase during a sunny, mild day?

Back

The temperature is likely to rise from a morning temperature of 41°F to around 67°F by 2:00 p.m.

Front

What type of weather is associated with low-pressure systems?

Back

Low-pressure systems generally bring rainy weather.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process by which water vapor cools and turns back into liquid water.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth, including processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Front

What role do clouds play in the water cycle?

Back

Clouds form when water vapor condenses in the atmosphere, and they are essential for precipitation.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process by which liquid water turns into water vapor, usually due to heat from the sun.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
