Water Cycle Animation Quiz

1. An aquifer is best described as:

• An underground river
• A pool of ocean water
• Rain, sleet and snow
• A drinking fountain found at Splashy Land

2. Most of the water in an aquifer comes from:

• Splashy Land Water Park
• Water seeping down through the ground from rain and rivers on the surface above
• The clouds in the sky
• Snowpack found on the top of the mountains

3. Snowpack is formed from layers of snow, which is a form of:

• Transpiration
• Condensation
• Precipitation
• Evaporation

4. Condensation occurs when:

• Liquid water is heated and escapes into the air.
• Water vapor cools into liquid droplets
• Water seeps through the ground
• Rain water freezes into ice

5. Heat causes liquid to become vapor and enter the air. This is how water from the ocean enters the air. This process is known as:

• Runoff
• Condensation
• Precipitation
• Evaporation

6. 97% of all the water on earth is located in:

• Snowpack
• Lakes
• Aquifers
• Oceans

7. True or False: Water from sewer drains can be cleaned and recycled back into rivers and streams.

• True
• False
