Water Cycle Processes and Concepts

The video tutorial explains the water cycle, an endless movement of water through Earth's systems. It covers various processes such as precipitation, transpiration, consumption, flow, melting, percolation, absorption, excretion, evaporation, freezing, sublimation, deposition, and condensation. Each process is driven by the sun and gravity, contributing to the continuous journey of water in different states: liquid, gas, and solid.

What powers the continuous movement of water in the water cycle?

• The moon and stars

• Earth's rotation

• The sun and gravity

• Wind and rain

What is the process called when rain and snow fall from the sky?

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Transpiration

• Condensation

How do plants contribute to the water cycle through their leaves?

• Condensation

• Transpiration

• Precipitation

• Sublimation

How do animals primarily consume water?

• By absorbing it through their skin

• By drinking and eating

• Through photosynthesis

• By breathing it in

What causes water to flow from higher to lower elevations?

• Wind

• Gravity

• Sunlight

• Magnetism

What happens to solid ice during the melting process?

• It sublimates

• It freezes further

• It becomes liquid water

• It turns into water vapor

What is the process called when water moves through soil and rock spaces?

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Percolation

• Evaporation

What is the process of water turning into vapor from a liquid state?

• Sublimation

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Freezing

In rare conditions, what is it called when solid ice turns directly into vapor?

• Condensation

• Sublimation

• Melting

• Deposition

What is the process called when water vapor turns into liquid water?

• Sublimation

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Freezing
