NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

___________________ is water taken from the groundwater flow and soil moisture. Only 1% of water the plant draws up is used by the plant. The remaining 99% is passed back into the atmosphere.

• Condensation

• Infiltration

• Surface runoff

• Plant uptake

• Percolation

• Deposition

• Condensation

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

_____________________ 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.

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

__________________ is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. ______________ is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves.

• Transpiration

• Percolation

• Infiltration

• Plant Uptake

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

Which best explains why runoff is important?

• It returns water to other locations on Earth
• It increases the chance of flooding
• It makes evaporation occur faster
• It increases condensation
