Condensation and precipitation

Arnav left a glass of water in the sun. What is the process by which the water in the glass changes from a liquid to a gas?

• evaporation

• melting

• sublimation

• condensation

Krish, Ishaan, and Ishika are studying the water cycle. They noticed that the steam from their hot tea was turning into water droplets on the cooler surface of the cup. What is this process called?

• sublimation

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation

Ishika, Aarav, and Ananya were on a field trip. They noticed water falling from the sky to the Earth's surface. What is the term for this phenomenon?

• precipitation

• hail

• snow

• rain

Rahul, Tisha, and Avni are studying meteorology and they come across a chapter on precipitation. They learn about the three main types of precipitation. Can you help them identify these?

• thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes.

• rain, snow, and sleet

• hail, fog, and drizzle.

• dew, frost, and mist.

During a winter field trip, Krish, Kavya, and Eesha observed a strange weather phenomenon. They noticed that the supercooled water droplets in the air were freezing upon contact with surfaces. What type of precipitation were they observing?

• Freezing rain or freezing drizzle

• Snow

• Hail

• Sleet

During a winter field trip, Viaan, Ishika, and Aarush observed a strange type of precipitation. They noticed that the raindrops were freezing into ice pellets before reaching the ground. What is this type of precipitation called?

• sleet

• drizzle

• snow

• hail

During a science experiment, Viaan, Aarav, and Shaan observed a weather phenomenon. They noticed that supercooled water droplets were freezing and accumulating layers of ice. What type of precipitation were they observing?

• sleet

• hail

• snow

• freezing rain

Prisha, Shreya, and Ishika were conducting a science experiment. They noticed that when they boiled water in a pot, the steam rose and hit the cooler lid, then turned back into liquid water and formed droplets. What is the term for this process?

• sublimation

• precipitation

• evaporation

• condensation

Tara, Nikita, and Aarav were having a discussion about the water cycle. They were curious about what the term is for the process of water falling from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. Can you help them?

• precipitation

• transpiration

• condensation

• evaporation

Vanya, Aashi, and Kabir were at the beach on a hot day. They noticed their ice creams were melting quickly. Kabir wondered, 'What is the term for the process of water changing from a liquid to a gas, similar to what's happening to our ice creams?'

• melting

• evaporation

• condensation

• sublimation
