Water Cycle Review

Water Cycle & Climate Review

​

Water Cycle (Recycled into differents forms)

1. Precipitation

2. Surface Runoff

3. Glacier Runoff

4. Transpiration

5. Condensation

6. Evaporation

Common types of precipitation:

rain, sleet, freezing rain, snow, and hail (sleet).

Multiple Choice

Water that falls to the ground in the form of ice, sleet, rain or snow is called:

• Condensation
• Precipitation
• Infiltration
• Evaporation

Humidity

is the concentration of water vapor present in the air.

With Florida being surrounded by the warm Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, and with South Florida being a nearly tropical climate, it is definitely the most humid state in the U.S.

Multiple Choice

What atmospheric factor causes dampness?

• Wind
• Cumulus clouds
• Barometric pressure
• Humidity

Multiple Choice

In the water cycle evaporation is depicted as:

• Water drops falling
• Lakes, streams and groundwater
• Water vapor rising into the air
• Clouds in the sky

Multiple Choice

When condensation occurs (like the formation of clouds), water changes from:

• Solid to liquid
• Liquid to gas
• Gas to liquid
• Gas to solid

Multiple Choice

What is happening where the cold air meets the warm air with high humidity?

• Condensation
• Evaporation
• Neautralization
• Transpiration

Multiple Choice

Caused by water absorbing energy from the sun:

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Runoff

• Precipitation
