Multiple Choice

How many times is the snowflake shown in the image magnified from its actual size?

• 60 times

• 100 times

• 50 times

• 80 times

Multiple Choice

What happens when a snowflake grows large enough?

• It evaporates

• It falls to the ground

• It rises in the air

• It breaks apart

Multiple Choice

What happens when water vapor condenses on particles in very cold air?

• It forms rain

• It forms ice crystals

• It evaporates

• It remains unchanged

Multiple Choice

What happens to a snowflake when it melts?

• It turns into a drop of water

• It becomes a crystal again

• It evaporates immediately

• It turns into a piece of ice

Multiple Choice

As mentioned in the text, why is the angular structure of ice crystals evident in the fern-like patterns of frost?

• Because of the reflection of light

• Because of the water soaking the surface

• Because frost forms along tiny scratches and other imperfections in the glass

• Because of the movement of water vapor

Multiple Choice

What is frost the result of?

• Water vapor changing from a gas to a solid

• Water vapor changing from a liquid to a gas

• Water vapor changing from a solid to a liquid

• Water vapor changing from a gas to a liquid

Multiple Choice

How does white light transform when it enters the water?

• It is absorbed by the water molecules

• It is reflected off the surface of the water

• It is refracted and splits into the colors of the rainbow

• It remains unchanged and passes through the water

Multiple Choice

What phenomenon is described by the text as causing an upside-down landscape to appear in each drop of water on a spider web?

• The water vapor changing from a gas to a solid

• The bending of light

• The angular structure of ice crystals

• The presence of tiny scratches on the surface

Multiple Choice

What phenomenon is described by the bending of light as it passes through water droplets in the air to create a rainbow?

• Reflection

• Refraction

• Diffraction

• Dispersion

Multiple Choice

What happens to some of the light when it passes into the water?

• It is completely absorbed by the water.

• It bends and refracts, creating a rainbow of colors.

• It immediately turns into heat energy.

• It causes the water to evaporate.

Multiple Choice

How do natural rainbows work?

• They are a result of light reflecting off the moon.

• They are created by light reflecting off of snowflakes.

• They are formed by light bending and flashing bright colors when seen from the correct angle.

• They are painted in the sky by airplanes.

Multiple Choice

What keeps water in constant motion in the water cycle?

• The moon's gravitational pull

• The sun's heat and the earth's gravity

• The rotation of the earth on its axis

• The movement of aquatic animals

Multiple Choice

Where can water evaporate from?

• Only from oceans

• Only from plants and trees

• Puddles, ponds, lakes, oceans, plants, and trees

• Only from artificial sources

Multiple Choice

Why is water considered precious?

• Because it is used in cooking

• Because it is a good solvent

• Without it, no living thing could survive

• Because it is abundant on earth
