The Amazing Journey of Water Through Earth's Cycle

The video explains the water cycle, a continuous loop of water movement on Earth. It covers the phases of water—solid, liquid, and gas—and how they participate in the cycle. Precipitation, infiltration, transpiration, runoff, and evaporation are key processes that maintain this cycle, essential for life on Earth.

What is the water cycle?

• A process of water purification

• A cycle that only occurs in oceans

• A method to create new water

• A continuous loop of water movement on Earth

Which of the following is NOT a phase of water?

• Solid

• Plasma

• Gas

• Liquid

What happens when clouds become full?

• They release water as precipitation

• They disappear

• They become heavier and sink

• They turn into fog

What is the process called when water soaks into the ground?

• Evaporation

• Infiltration

• Condensation

• Transpiration

How do plants contribute to the water cycle?

• By using water to grow only

• By converting water into oxygen

• By storing water permanently

• By absorbing water and releasing it as vapor

What is runoff?

• Water that evaporates directly from plants

• Water that remains in the soil

• Water that flows into streams, lakes, and rivers

• Water that is absorbed by the atmosphere

What initiates the evaporation process?

• Wind

• Solar radiation

• Gravity

• Cloud formation

Which process is responsible for forming clouds?

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Infiltration

• Precipitation

What is the significance of the water cycle for life on Earth?

• It only affects ocean life

• It creates new water

• It sustains all life by recycling water

• It provides a source of energy
