7th Grade Science Final Part 1

The continuous movement of water from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back again.

• Water Cycle

• Weather Cycle

• Rock Cycle

• Carbon Cycle

What drives the water cycle?

• Land Masses

• Seasons

• Sun

• Oceans

An increase in the amount of thermal energy put into an object causes

• particles in an object move slower

• particles in an object move faster

• particles in an object do not change based on density

• particles in an object will warm or cool based on volume

___________________ is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. __________________ is the primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle as atmospheric water

• Transpiration

• Deposition

• Percolation

• Evaporation

_____________________ is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most ________________ falls as rain.

• Snowmelt runoff

• Precipitation

• Surface runoff

• Evaporation

__________________ is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. ________________ is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.

• Transportation

• Percolation

• Condensation

• Plant Uptake

_____________________ is the conversion between the solid and the gaseous phases of matter, with no intermediate liquid stage. For those of us interested in the water cycle, _____________ is most often used to describe the process of snow and ice changing into water vapor in the air without first melting into water.

• Transpiration

• Evaporation

• Snowmelt runoff

• Sublimation

________________________ is the movement of water through the atmosphere, specifically from over the oceans to over land. Some of the earth's moisture transport is visible as clouds, which themselves consist of ice crystals and/or tiny water droplets.

• Transportation

• Precipitation

• Deposition

• Surface runoff

Water that flows across the land and enters rivers and streams. It eventually flows into lakes and the ocean.

• Snowmelt runoff

• Surface Runoff
