Which example is a form of precipitation?

• dew

• fog

• frost

• hail

Which atmospheric variable usually increases before precipitation?

• barometric pressure

• dew point

• relative humidity

• temperature

How do transpiration and evaporation compare?

• During both processes liquid water changes to water vapor

• During both processes water vapr changes to liquid water

If rain falls on a surface that is not porous (does not easily pass through), what will most likey happen to the rain?

• condensation

• evaporation

• runoff

• transpiration

Which processes of the water cycle will add water vapor to the atmosphere?

• evaporation and condensation

• condensation and precipitation

• precipitation and transpiration

• transpiration and evaporation

What happens to water during transpiration?

• water sinks into the ground

• water from the ocean is converted into vapor by the Sun

• water vapor in the atmosphere is converted to water droplets

• water from plants enters into the environment in the form of vapor

How do dew and frost relate?

• Frost forms at temperatures above freezing and dew forms at temperatures below freezing

• Frost forms at temperatures below freezing and dew froms at temperatures above freezing
