Water Cycle Test

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

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Sublimation

When water flows back into the ocean, it is called:

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Run-off

• Transpiration

What is the driving force of the water cycle?

• Moon

• Sun

• Stars

• Equator

When water from leaves turns into a gas:

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

Oceans cover ___% of Earth's surface.

• 75%

• 50%

• 25%

• 60%

Most evaporation in the water cycle happens in oceans because:

• They contain salt

• They evaporate more quickly

• They have ice in them

• They are the largest bodies of water

Water in lakes that do not contain salt:

• Recycled water

• Fresh water

• Saltless water

• New water

Why does precipitation occur?

• 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 condensation evaporates

Tiny droplets of water that form in the air:

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

Heat is part of the water cycle:

• True

• False
