What is the process called when water changes from a liquid to a gas?

Condensation

Evaporation

Precipitation

Transpiration

Answer explanation

The process when water changes from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation. This occurs when water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid state and enter the gaseous state.

List the stages of the water cycle in the correct order starting from evaporation.

Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Collection

Condensation, Evaporation, Collection, Precipitation

Collection, Precipitation, Evaporation, Condensation

Precipitation, Collection, Condensation, Evaporation

Answer explanation

The correct order of the water cycle starts with evaporation, where water turns into vapor. This is followed by condensation, forming clouds, then precipitation as rain or snow, and finally collection in bodies of water.

What is the primary source of energy that drives the water cycle?

Wind

Sun

Moon

Earth's core

Answer explanation

The primary source of energy that drives the water cycle is the Sun. It heats water in oceans and lakes, causing evaporation, which is essential for the cycle of precipitation and condensation.

How does climate change impact the water cycle?

It decreases the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

It increases the frequency and intensity of precipitation events.

It stops the process of evaporation.

It has no impact on the water cycle.

Answer explanation

Climate change leads to increased temperatures, which enhance evaporation and result in more water vapor. This contributes to more frequent and intense precipitation events, making the correct choice about its impact on the water cycle.
