Water Cycle and Water Crisis

The process of water collecting in rivers, lakes, streams, oceans and other bodies of water is called

• infiltration

• percolation

• precipitation

• accumulation

The continuous circulation of water through the atmosphere, the land and the ocean is called

• hydrologic cycle

• carbon cycle

• accumulation

• percolation

When warm water vapor mixes with cooler air in the atmosphere, it is called

• evaporation

• condensation

• sublimation

• transpiration

The highest level where the underground is saturated with water is called

• water shed

• water table

• water cycle

• water balance

The downward entry of water to the soil is called

• percolation

• infiltration

• transpiration

• surface runoff

Driven by heat energy, it causes the water to turn into an invisible gas known as water vapor. This part of water cycle is called

• evaporation

• condensation

• precipitation

• infiltration

Water that does not soak into the ground, instead it run along the surface until it enters into another body of water.

• water vapor

• water cycle

• water table

• surface runoff

The underground layer of sand, gravel or rocks that stores and carries water is called

• aquifer

• water table

• groundwater

• surface runoff

The water that is stored below Earth's surface. It usually can be accessed through wells and or pump.

• surface water

• groundwater

• water table

• water cycle

The waters in oceans, rivers, lakes and swamps are called

• groundwater

• surface water

• wastewater

• watershed
