Water Cycle [PRACTICE]

Which best explains why runoff is important?

• It returns water to other locations on Earth
• It increases the chance of flooding
• It makes evaporation occur faster
• It increases condensation

What does groundwater do?

• It sends water to our buildings, houses, and water transplant places
• Goes to the sky
• Goes to the sun
• Provides rivers

What comes after evaporation during the water cycle?
How does this occur?

• Water evaporates into water vapor
• Water vapor condenses and forms a  cloud
• Water precipitates to the ground
• Water runs down into the hydrosphere

What is it called when plants give off water vapor as a waste product?

• condensation
• evaporation
• sublimation
• transpiration

The process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil.

• Infiltration
• Groundwater
• Transpiration
• Evaporation

The cycle by which water circulates between Earth’s oceans, atmosphere, and land. 

• Water Cycle
• Water
• River
• Solar Radiation

The process where plants absorb water through the roots and then give off water vapor through their leaves.

• Transpiration
• Respiration
• Oxygen
• Infiltration

Which stages does liquid water from the ocean, lakes, and rivers turn into water vapor?

• condesantion
• evaporation
• precipitation
• run off

In stage does ground water move from the surface to streams, rivers, and lakes and then to the ocean?

• condensation
• evapotranspiration

• precipitation
• run off

What is condensation?

• 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.
