Water Cycle and Heat Transfer Review

What effect do rapidly cooling temperatures have on the water cycle?

• Water droplets evaporate into vapor

• Water vapor condenses into droplets

• Condensation evaporates into precipitation

• Precipitation condenses into water droplets

In order for clouds to form, what must happen first?

• Heat energy from the sun changes water into clouds from a gas to a liquid

• Light energy from the sun changes water on earth from a gas to a liquid.

• Light energy from the sun changes water in clouds from a liquid to a gas.

• Heat energy from the sun changes water on earth form a liquid into a gas.

Which part of the water cycle change liquid into vapor?

• Condensation and transpiration

• Evaporation and condensation

• Evaporation and transpiration

• Transpiration and runoff

Water on a plate dries back faster than the same amount of water in a small cup. The plate and small cup are made of the same type of material. Which statement best explains why this occurred?

• The small plate keeps the water colder than the plate.

• The plate allows the water to move more than the small cup.

• The small cup allows the water to stick to it more than the plate.

• A larger surface area of water touches the air on the plate than in the cup.

Which factor determines whether precipitation will be in the form of rain or snow?

• wind

• humidity

• air pressure

• temperature

Which statement best describes the sun's impact on the water cycle?

• The sun cools the land, causing the water on the land to collect.

• The sun warms plants, causing the water on the leaves to precipitate.

• The sun cools the water collected in clouds, causing the water to evaporate.

• The sun heats the water in lakes and oceans, causing the water to evaporate.

A 500-gram block of solid cheese is melted in a pot. Which is most likely the mass of the cheese after it is melted?

• 500 grams, because the cheese does not gain or lose mass just because it was melted.

• 499 grams, because some of the cheese evaporates as it melts

• 502 grams, because the cheese absorbs heat as it melts

• 510 grams, because the cheese experiences a chemical change as it melts, which increases the mass

A 55-gram egg is placed in a pot. After the egg is boiled, which is most likely the mass of the egg?

• 50 grams

• 55 grams

• 100 grams

• 110 grams

Rodney tears a piece of paper weighing 1 oz into small pieces. What most likely happens to the weight of the sheet of paper after Rodney tears it into pieces?

• The weight increases

• The weight is cut in half

• The weight stays the same

• The weight decreases by one third

Jason poured 500 grams of water into a container and tightly sealed it. The water was allowed to freeze. Which is most likely true about the ice that formed?

• The mass of the ice is the same as the mass of the water

• The mass of the ice is greater than the mass of the water

• The ice formed is a different substance than the water

• The ice formed is the same temperature as the water.
