Water Cycle & Conservation

What is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas?

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Sublimation

• Precipitation

During evaporation, does water absorb or release heat energy?

• consume

• maintain

• absorb

• release

What is the term for water vapor turning back into liquid water?

• Sublimation

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Condensation

When water vapor cools and forms clouds, what process is occurring?

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Condensation

• Sublimation

What is the term for water falling from the sky in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail?

• deluge

• drizzle

• precipitation

• downpour

What happens to water droplets on a cold glass of water?

• Water droplets change color when in contact with the glass

• Water droplets form due to condensation from warm, humid air coming into contact with the cold glass.

• Water droplets turn into ice crystals on the glass

• Water droplets evaporate instantly due to the cold glass

What is the process of water being collected in bodies of water like lakes and oceans?

• Water is collected in bodies of water like lakes and oceans through the process of volcanic eruptions.

• Water is collected in bodies of water like lakes and oceans through the process of precipitation, runoff from rivers and streams, and the water cycle.

• Water is collected in bodies of water like lakes and oceans through the process of condensation.

• Water is collected in bodies of water like lakes and oceans through the process of evaporation only.

How can we conserve water at home?

• By leaving the tap running constantly

• By taking longer showers

• By taking shorter showers, fixing leaks promptly, using a dishwasher only when full, installing water-saving fixtures, collecting rainwater for plants, and turning off the tap while brushing teeth or washing dishes.

• By ignoring leaks and not fixing them

Why is it important to conserve water?

• Conserving water is not important as there is an unlimited supply

• Water conservation leads to increased pollution

• There are no benefits to conserving water

• Conserving water is important to ensure there is enough clean water for current and future generations, protect the environment, and reduce energy consumption.

What are some ways to reduce water usage in daily activities?

• Ignoring leaks

• Taking longer showers

• Using appliances inefficiently

• Implementing water-saving habits like taking shorter showers, fixing leaks, using appliances efficiently, and watering plants strategically.
