Semester 2 Earth Science Review

Front

Which example is a form of precipitation? Dew, Fog, Frost, Hail

Back

Hail

Front

In which area would the rate of evaporation be the lowest?
Options: Over the ocean, Over the mountains, Over the rainforest, Over the desert

Back

Over the desert

Front

What is the correct sequence of processes water undergoes in the water cycle?

Back

Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation

Front

What would happen if the Sun is removed from the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration.

Front

During which stage does water flow back towards the sea as runoff?

Back

Z

Front

On Earth, what process generates most of the water vapor?

Back

Evaporation

Front

Which factor is responsible for there being different forms of precipitation?

Back

Temperature

Front

What is the energy source that drives the water cycle?

Back

The sun

Front

What are formed when water vapor condenses?

Back

Clouds

Front

The movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

Back

Convection
