Back

Water vapor condenses into clouds and falls to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Front

What is the primary difference between salt water and fresh water?

Back

Salt water contains a higher concentration of dissolved salts compared to fresh water.

Front

Which of the following is a major source of water vapor in the atmosphere?
Melting glaciers,
Evaporation from oceans,
Precipitation,
Underground aquifers

Back

Evaporation from oceans

Front

How do glaciers contribute to the water cycle?

Back

They release water through melting, which contributes to rivers and oceans.

Front

Which of the following is a common problem associated with fresh water resources? Overfishing, Water pollution from industrial waste, High salinity levels, Excessive evaporation

Back

Water pollution from industrial waste

Front

What role does water vapor play in the water cycle?

Back

It forms the basis of all precipitation.

Front

Which of the following processes is responsible for the formation of glaciers? Evaporation, Condensation, Accumulation and compaction of snow, Precipitation

Back

Accumulation and compaction of snow

Front

What is the main reason for the occurrence of water scarcity in some regions?

Back

Overuse and pollution of water resources

Front

What best explains the term "water cycle"?

Back

The process by which water is continuously exchanged between the earth's surface and the atmosphere.

Front

How does precipitation affect the salinity of ocean water?

Back

It decreases the salinity by adding fresh water.
