Front

List the three main processes of the water cycle in the correct order.

Back

Evaporation, condensation, precipitation

Front

What phenomenon causes water droplets to form on grass in the morning without rain?

Back

The air temperature became cooler, leading to condensation.

Front

What is the primary factor that affects the rate of evaporation from a water surface?

Back

Temperature and sunlight exposure.

Front

What is precipitation in the context of the water cycle?

Back

The process by which condensed water in clouds falls back to Earth as rain, snow, or hail.

Front

What happens to water in a sunny spot compared to a shady spot over time?

Back

More water evaporates from the pan exposed to sunshine.

Front

What is evaporation in the water cycle?

Back

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

Front

How does temperature affect the water cycle?

Back

Higher temperatures increase evaporation rates, while cooler temperatures can lead to condensation.

Front

What role does the sun play in the water cycle?

Back

The sun provides the energy needed for evaporation and drives the water cycle.

Front

What is the difference between condensation and precipitation?

Back

Condensation is the process of water vapor turning into liquid, while precipitation is the falling of that liquid back to Earth.
