Which example best describes/shows how the water cycle transfers energy?

• A flooding river depositing silt on a floodplain.

• Ocean water depositing sand particles on a shore.

• A warm ocean current warming the air above it.

• Water seepeing through the soil and dissolving salts.

Which statement best describe the energy flow in the formation of a hurricane?

• Energy is released as water freezes and absorbed as clouds condense.

• Water absorbs the sun's energy, evaporated, and is released when it rains.

• Energy is released as clouds condense and absorbed as rain falls.

• Water absorbs the sun's energy, evaporates and is released as it forms clouds.

Which statement explains what has occurred in the time between these two images being taken?

• The water droplets outside the glass absorbed energy as they evaporated

• Some liquid water inside the glass sublimated into water vapor in the air.

• The ice cubes expanded in volume as they melted into liquid.

• Water vapor condensed on the glass and absorbed energy.

This terrarium is completely closed so we cannot add water. However, the plants have enough water to grow. Explain.

• The air cannot hold all of the water vapor.

• The plants take up water and store it in their leaves and stems.

• Energy from the sun cycles water through the soil, plants and the air.

• Water is unable to evaporate from the soil.
