Water Cycle QuickCheck

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 where water changes from a liquid to a gas (water vapor) due to heat.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

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

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

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

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by plants and released as water vapor into the atmosphere.

Front

What role does the Sun play in the Water Cycle?

Back

The Sun provides the energy needed for evaporation, driving the Water Cycle.

Front

What happens during evaporation?

Back

During evaporation, water from puddles, lakes, and oceans turns into vapor and enters the atmosphere.

Front

What is an example of condensation?

Back

An example of condensation is when water droplets form on the outside of a cold glass of water.

Front

What is the difference between evaporation and transpiration?

Back

Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor from surfaces like lakes, while transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants.

Front

What is the water vapor?

Back

Water vapor is the gaseous state of water that is present in the atmosphere.
