• TRUE

• FALSE

Multiple Choice

The transfer of water from surface water into the atmosphere

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Transpiration

• Precipitation

​Evaporation

​Can take place over land, lakes, oceans, and everywhere there is exposed water

​

The heat of the day causes surface water to change from a liquid to a gas​

​

The water molecules then rise into the atmopsphere​

Multiple Choice

Plants and animals can also release moisture into the air.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Multiple Choice

What is the evaporation of water from the leaves of plants?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Transpiration

• Precipitation

Multiple Choice

A change in water from a gas to a liquid.

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Transpiration

• Precipitation

Multiple Choice

Condensed moisture in clouds collecting and falling to the Earth

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Collection

​Condensation & Precipitation

As the water vapor in the atmosphere comes together, it forms clouds

​

Once the clouds have formed and there is enough water vapor collected through condensation, droplets begin to form

​

Gravity pulls the excess water to the ground​

Multiple Choice

The accumulation of rain as it falls

• Evaporation

• Collection

• Precipitation

• Condensation

​Collection

As the rain falls to the ground, some is channeled into lake and resevoirs

​

Some rain flows down to rivers and then out to the oceans

​

Rain falls directly on the oceans or other bodies of water

​

Snow collects mountains

​

Water that falls on the land soaks into the soil ​

Multiple Choice

​Flushing the Toilet	2-4 gallons per flush​
​Taking a shower/bath	17-24 gallons​
Washing Clothes​	35-50 gallons​

​The total home usage for a family of four is estimated at 400 gallons of water per day.

How can we conserve water?

​Water Conservation

Low-flow plumbing fixtures and toilets

​

Penalties for high water usage

​

During the dry seasons, watering the lawn or washing cars is against the law​

*In southwest states​

​Increased populations lead to higher food consumption, and as a result, there will be a need for more water to grow the food.

​It is estimated that it takes 1,303 gallons of water to raise the cow, and grow the wheat, lettuce, and tomatoes needed to make one hamburger.
