Water Cycle Task Cards Review

How much salt water covers the Earth?

• 55%

• 65%

• 75%

Water in the oceans that contain 3-4% salt are called

• salt water

• fresh water

• rain water

The changes to water when it cycles on the Earth -

• The moon cycle

• The sun cycle

• The water cycle

Which list includes four forms of precipitation?

• rain, sleet, snow, water vapor

• sleet, snow, rain, hail

• lakes, ice, mists, run-off

Water that evaporates from the ocean

• contains sand and salt

• contains salt

• does not contain salt

When warm water vapor is blown over land in the water cycle, what happens?

• Evaporation

• The Sun's rays heat up the ocean

• Hot water vapor rises

• Cooler air gets heavy with precipitation over the land

Precipitation occurs because

• the droplets evaporate in the air

• the droplets are too light for the air to hold

• the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold

The Sun's energy

• Changes daily

• heats the ocean before evaporation

• directly causes evaporation

The land on Earth covers approximately

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

When water is evaporated from the surface of the ocean

• biofuel energy is used

• mechanical energy causes it

• solar energy is being observed
