2/17 warm-up

Which process involves water vapor cooling and changing back into liquid droplets?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Collection

How does the sun contribute to the water cycle?

• It causes precipitation

• It provides energy for evaporation

• It cools down the water vapor

• It collects water in oceans

Which stage of the water cycle involves water returning to the earth's surface?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Collection

Explain how evaporation and condensation are related in the water cycle.

• Both are processes that involve the cooling of water

• Evaporation turns liquid water into vapor, while condensation turns vapor back into liquid

• Both processes occur only in the ocean

• They are unrelated processes

Describe the role of the sun in the water cycle.

• The sun causes water to freeze

• The sun provides energy that powers the evaporation of water

• The sun absorbs water from the atmosphere

• The sun has no role in the water cycle

Which of the following is NOT a type of precipitation?

• Rain

• Fog

• Snow

• Hail

How does precipitation contribute to the water cycle?

• It evaporates water into the atmosphere

• It returns water to the earth's surface

• It condenses water vapor into clouds

• It collects water in the ocean

Which stage of the water cycle is directly powered by the sun's energy?

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Collection

What is the process called when plants release water vapor into the air?

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Precipitation

Explain why condensation is important in the water cycle.

• It causes water to evaporate

• It forms clouds that lead to precipitation

• It collects water in the ocean

• It has no importance
