Water Cycle Review

What are the processes water moves through, in order, as it moves from the surface of a pond to a cloud in the sky?

• evaporation then condensation

• condensation then evaporation

• precipitation then condensation

• condensation then precipitation

Groundwater moves from the ground through plants and then back into the atmosphere through the process of

• condensation.

• precipitation.

• run-off.

• transpiration.

If water is continuously moving through the water cycle, why is it so important to conserve water?

• Global warming is causing the water to become undrinkable.

• It can take decades for water to become drinkable again.

• Industrial pollution speeds up the hydrological cycle.

• Most of the water is stored in the oceans.
