gravity

Question 11

Julie is making a model to demonstrate how water evaporates from the ocean. Which items would be best to use in her model?

Accepted Answer

a hot plate and a bowl of salt water

Answer

a cold mirror and steam from a shower

Answer

a bucket and a bathtub

Answer

a pan of dirt and a pitcher of water

Question 12

In September of 2017, Hurricane Irma dropped 11 inches of rain over Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. What do we know for sure about the water from that storm?

Accepted Answer

It is part of the water cycle

Answer

It no longer exists

Answer

It has all evaporated

Answer

It is now in the ocean

Question 13

Adam made this model of the water cycle.

What will happen to the water in the container?

Accepted Answer

The lid will keep the water from leaving

Answer

The container will absorb some water

Answer

The ice cubes will melt and increase the amount of water

Answer

The lamp will keep the water from evaporating

Question 14

Which answer best explains why clouds usually form high in the sky, as part of the water cycle?

Accepted Answer

It is cold enough there for the water vapor to condense.

Answer

It is warm enough there for evaporated water to expand into clouds.

Answer

It is dry enough there for precipitation to form from condensed water vapor.

Answer

It is windy enough there for water droplets to get pushed together into clouds.
