Water Cycle Review 1/13

What happens when you leave an bottle of water out in the sun???

• Evaporation happens
• Precipitation happens
• Transpiration happens
• Condensation happens

What is transpiration???

• the process by which plants give off moisture into the atmosphere
• the force of gravity pulling mass towards the center of the earth
• Liquid to gas
• The transfer of heat in a gas or liquid ,warmer material rises and cooler falls causing an cycle

Which of these best describes the Sun's role in the water cycle?

• The Sun produces precipitation for the water cycle.
• The Sun produces heat energy which causes evaporation for the water cycle.
• The Sun produces runoff for the water cycle.
• The Sun produces heat energy which causes the salt in ocean water to dissolve. 

Which answer choice best explains how the Sun and ocean interact in the Water Cycle?

• The Sun heats the ocean and creates a warm climate for marine life.
• The Sun heats the ocean and evaporates the water and the salt.
• The Sun heats the ocean and evaporates the water but leaves the salt behind.
• The Sun heats the ocean and creates tidal waves.

Snow, sleet, hail, and rain are all examples of  ________________. 

• evaporation
• condensation
• accumulation
• precipitation

What is water vapor doing when it changes to water?

• evaporating
• condensing
• precipitating
• freezing

This is the day to day change in temperature, precipitation, wind and air pressure 

• climate
• weather
• atmosphere
• wind 

Which process changes water from a liquid to a gas?

• precipitation
• cooling
• evaporation
• condensation 

This is the long term patterns over a period of time in an area

• weather
• climate 
• atmosphere 
• wind
