Question image

The picture below shows a part of the water cycle. Use the picture to answer any questions that follow. 

How can the cycling of the water at Point X affect the weather?

1

  The cooler temperature of the ocean can cause the water to evaporate into the atmosphere and form clouds.

2

  The Sun's rays can heat the ocean's water, causing some of it to evaporate into the atmosphere and form clouds.

3

  The ocean can reflect the Sun's rays into the atmosphere causing water vapor to condense into a cloud.

4

  The warmer ocean waters can cause water vapor to be released as condensation into the atmosphere.

Question image

During a winter storm, Annabelle observed hail falling on the street. After the hailstorm ended

she observed rain fall. Which of these statements best describes the movement of water

through Earth's spheres?

1

Water vapor from the cryosphere produces hail allowing it to then precipitate.

2

The geosphere freezes water and the cryosphere allows rain to fall back to the geosphere. 

3

Water vapor from the hydrosphere forms clouds, freezing in the atmosphere and falling back to the geosphere as precipitation. 

4

The geosphere causes water to evaporate through the hydrosphere to form clouds and then to be reabsorbed as part of the cryosphere.
