Water Cycle and Phase Change Review

What are the three states of matter?

• solid, liquid, and gas

• hot, warm, cold

• liquid, air, vapor

• solid, gas, plasma

Explain the concept of kinetic energy in relation to the water cycle.

• Kinetic energy is related to the movement of water molecules in the water cycle.

• Kinetic energy is related to the shape of water in the water cycle.

• Kinetic energy is related to the temperature of water in the water cycle.

• Kinetic energy is related to the color of water in the water cycle.

What is evaporation and how does it occur in the water cycle?

• Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a gas to a liquid. It occurs when the air becomes very cold.

• Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a gas to a solid. It occurs when water is exposed to extreme pressure.

• Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a solid to a gas. It occurs when water is heated to a very high temperature.

• Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. It occurs when heat energy from the sun causes water molecules to move faster and eventually escape from the surface of the water into the air.

Describe the process of condensation and its role in the water cycle.

• Condensation is the process of water turning into ice, forming snowflakes.

• Condensation is the process of water vapor turning into gas, contributing to air pollution.

• Condensation is the process of liquid water turning into water vapor, causing droughts.

• Condensation is the process in which water vapor in the air turns into liquid water, forming clouds. In the water cycle, condensation is the step where water vapor becomes liquid water, which then falls to the Earth as precipitation.

What is the role of freezing in the phase change of water?

• It causes water to change from solid to liquid

• It is the phase change of water from liquid to solid.

• It is the phase change of water from liquid to gas

• It has no role in the phase change of water

Explain the concept of melting and its significance in the water cycle.

• Melting is the process of a liquid turning into a solid due to a decrease in temperature. In the water cycle, melting occurs when ice or snow turns into solid ice, which then contributes to the formation of glaciers.

• Melting is the process of a liquid turning into a gas due to an increase in temperature. In the water cycle, melting occurs when liquid water turns into water vapor, which then contributes to the formation of rain.

• Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid due to an increase in temperature. In the water cycle, melting occurs when ice or snow turns into liquid water, which then contributes to the flow of water in rivers and streams.

• Melting is the process of a gas turning into a liquid due to a decrease in temperature. In the water cycle, melting occurs when water vapor turns into liquid water, which then contributes to the formation of clouds.

How does sublimation contribute to the water cycle?

• Sublimation has no impact on the water cycle.

• Sublimation causes water vapor to change directly into solid ice, reducing the amount of water in the atmosphere.

• Sublimation only occurs in the oceans and does not contribute to the water cycle.

• Sublimation allows solid ice to change directly into water vapor, contributing to the water cycle.

What is the difference between evaporation and boiling in terms of phase change?

• Evaporation results in the formation of bubbles, while boiling does not.

• Evaporation is a slower process than boiling.

• Evaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid, while boiling occurs throughout the entire liquid.

• Evaporation occurs only in cold temperatures, while boiling occurs only in hot temperatures.

Describe the process of deposition and its impact on the water cycle.

• Deposition is the process of water turning into gas, impacting the water cycle by reducing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

• Deposition is the process of water vapor changing directly into liquid, impacting the water cycle by increasing the amount of liquid precipitation.

• Deposition is the process of water turning into a solid, impacting the water cycle by removing water from the cycle.

• Deposition is the process in which water vapor changes directly into ice without first becoming a liquid, impacting the water cycle by adding solid precipitation to the cycle.

Explain the significance of phase change in the context of the water cycle.

• Phase change in the water cycle only affects the temperature of the water, not its movement

• Phase change in the water cycle is significant because it drives the movement of water through the cycle, impacting weather patterns and ecosystems.

• Phase change in the water cycle is only important for scientific research and has no practical significance

• Phase change in the water cycle is insignificant and has no impact on weather patterns
