What is transpiration?

• the process in which plants release water through their leaves back into the air

• the process in which humans release sweat through their skin back into the air

• what happens when water vapor turns into a liquid

• the scientific name for the water cycle

What would most likely happen if it didn’t rain in a certain area for a long period of time?

• Plants would die, and animals wouldn’t receive nutrients from plants.

• Animals and plants would live the same way they always do.

• Animals would drink all the water and leave none for the plants.

• Nutrients would find a different way of getting to plants and animals.

When a cold air mass crashes into a warm air mass, which kind of front is formed?

• Warm front

• Cold front

• Stationary front

• Polar front

Why does a warm front usually bring a light and steady rain?

• Warm fronts bring extremely low air pressure

• Weather that is not intense always happens at any kind of front.

• A warm air mass violently crashes into a cold air mass, so the weather is wet.

• A warm air mass slowly climbs up over the cold air mass, so the weather is less intense.

• Stratus clouds would form, and they would make the day warmer.

• Clouds would form, and they would bring light and steady rainfall.
