✅Choice Board CFU: Water Cycle

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous process by which water moves through the environment, involving evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas, usually due to heat.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

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

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

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

Front

What is runoff?

Back

Runoff is the flow of water, from rain or melting snow, that moves across the ground and returns to bodies of water.

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor into the air through their leaves.

Front

What is a well?

Back

A well is a man-made hole drilled into the ground to access groundwater below the water table.

Front

What is a natural spring?

Back

A natural spring is a place where groundwater flows to the surface naturally, often creating a pool of water.

Front

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

Back

The sun provides the energy needed for evaporation, driving the water cycle.

Front

What is the difference between evaporation and transpiration?

Back

Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor from surfaces like lakes, while transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants.
