Water Cycle Review

Water Cycle Review

Step 1

EVAPORATION: when the sun warms the liquid water and changes it to a gas (water vapor).

Multiple Choice

In the first step, what does the liquid on the ground change into?

• gas

• solid

• liquid

Step 2

CONDENSATION: when the gas changes into a liquid. The water vapor and dust particles form clouds.

Multiple Select

In the second step, what two things form clouds in the sky? (Choose TWO answers)

• water vapor

• dust particles

• precipitation

Step 3

PRECIPITATION: when the clouds get heavy and the liquid falls from the sky in one of four ways (rain, snow, sleet, or hail).

Multiple Choice

In the third step, which is NOT a form of precipitation?

• rain

• hurricane

• sleet

Step 4

COLLECTION: the liquid water that falls from the sky can be used by plants, solid rock, as underground water, or flow into larger bodies of water.

Multiple Select

In the fourth step, choose all the answers where water would collect.

• solid rock

• plants

• underground

• oceans
