Front

What is the primary factor that causes puddles on a sidewalk to evaporate quickly?

Back

Heat.

Front

What type of precipitation consists of frozen raindrops?

Back

Sleet.

Front

What process does energy from the Sun use to change a liquid to a gas?

Back

Evaporation.

Front

How are evaporation and condensation similar?

Back

Both are caused by changes in heat energy.

Front

What happens to water when it is heated on a stove?

Back

The water will evaporate.

Front

Define evaporation in the context of water cycles.

Back

Evaporation is the process by which liquid water is transformed into water vapor due to heat.

Front

What role does heat play in the process of evaporation?

Back

Heat provides the energy needed for water molecules to escape into the air as vapor.

Front

What is condensation and how does it relate to evaporation?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, completing the water cycle.

Front

Explain the water cycle and the role of evaporation in it.

Back

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth, where evaporation is the process that moves water from the ground into the atmosphere.

Front

What environmental conditions can increase the rate of evaporation?

Back

Higher temperatures, lower humidity, and increased wind speed can all increase the rate of evaporation.
