Water Cycle

The moisture that collects on cold surfaces such as a glass of ice water comes from

• inside the cup

• the condensation in the air

• water that has started to precipitate

• the water vapor in the atmosphere around the object

When water vapor s cooled and forms droplets-

• Condensation
• Evaportation
• Transpiration
• Run-off

Forms of precipitation are-

• only sleet and snow
• rain, sleet, hail, and snow
• only dew and rain 
• only snow and rain

When water is heated in the ocean by the sun and turns into water vapor

• condensation
• evaporation
• transpiration
• runoff

What is precipitation?

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.
• The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.
• The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

What weather conditions might you expect as you climb up a mountain?

• The air pressure will increase and the temperature will decrease

• The wind speed will increase and it will rain

• Air pressure will decrease and so will the temperature

• Rain, snow, sleet, hail

Why do scientists publish their results?

• because they can

• because they have to

• so that they can prove other scientists wrong

• so that scientific knowledge grows
