The Water Cycle 2.0

What is the energy source for the water cycle?

• the sun
• the earth
• water
• the moon

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

• collection

• precipitation

• evaporation

• sublimation

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

• condensation
• precipitation
• evaporation
• sublimation

What is evaporation?

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor. It rises into the air.

• The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

• The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into steam. It rises into the air.

What is condensation?

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor. It rises from the ground into the air.
• The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.
• The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
• The part of the water cycle where water runs off into rivers, streams, and back into oceans.

What is precipitation?

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor. It rises into the air.

• The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

• The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

• The part of the water cycle where water runs off into rivers, streams, and back into oceans.
