Environmental Science Water Cycle

What is the water cycle?

• the 3 forms of water
• the movement of water on, above, or below the surface of the Earth
• when water melts
• when clouds form

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

• condensation
• precipitation
• evaporation

Which of these is an example of precipitation?

• snow
• air
• clouds
• vapor

Which is the opposite of condensation?

• runoff
• evaporation
• precipitation
• transpiration

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

_{Snow, sleet, hail, and rain are all examples of  ________________.} 

• evaporation
• condensation
• accumulation
• precipitation

What is it called when water is formed from a liquid to a water vapor?

• EVAPORATION
• PRECIPITATION
• TRANSPIRATION

After the rain falls down onto Earth's surface, what most likely happens?
What is it called?

• 1. The remains of the water is soaked into the ground.
  2.Groundwater
• 1. Groundwater
  2. The remains of the water is soaked into the ground.
• 1. Groundwater
  2. Transpiration happens to the plants.
• 1. The liquid turns into a gas or water vapor
  2. Evaporation

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?

• condensation
• evaporation
• sublimation
• transpiration
