Water Cycle + Graphing Practice

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is released from plants into the atmosphere through small openings called stomata.

Front

What is groundwater?

Back

Groundwater is water that is found underground in soil or rock layers, and it can move towards oceans, rivers, or lakes.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous process by which water moves from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back, involving processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process by which liquid water is transformed into water vapor, usually due to heat from the sun.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process by which water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a graph?

Back

The y-axis typically represents the dependent variable in a graph, such as CO2 concentration in a scientific graph.

Front

What is the purpose of a graph title?

Back

A graph title provides a clear description of what the graph represents, helping viewers understand the data being presented.

Front

What is the correct sequence of the water cycle processes?

Back

The correct sequence is Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation.

Front

What is the role of the sun in the water cycle?

Back

The sun provides the energy needed for evaporation, driving the water cycle.
