Water Cycle

2 ways that water travels over Earth

• the wind & sun
• water cycle & ocean currents
• water cycle & evaporation
• solid, liquid & gas

3 states of water found on earth

• solid, liquid & gas
• oceans, lakes & streams
• evaporation, transpiration
• rain, sleet & hail

this atmosphere deals with water

• lithosphere
• biosphere
• hydrosphere
• atmosphere

Evaporation occurs when water changes into 

• transpiration
• snow
• solid
• vapor

Evaporation of water comes mostly from 

• oceans
• lakes
• people using it
• hydrosphere

When solid water changes directly to water without becoming a liquid first it is called

• condensation
• sublimation
• transpiration
• precipitation

The steps of the water cycle are as follows

• evaporation, condensation, precipitation, run-off 
• precipitation, inflitration, run-off, groundwater
• evaporation, run-off, condensation, infiltration
• transpiration, condensation, precipitation, ground water

This release of water vapor in the air by plants is called

• evaporation
• transpiration
• sublimation
• condensation

When solids change directly to water vapor without becoming a liquid 

• evaporation
• transpiration
• sublimation
• precipitation

This part of the water cycle accounts for most of the water in the atmosphere

• evaporation
• condensation
• precipitation
• transpiration
