Hydrological cycle definitions

When water is heated in the ocean by the sun and turns into water vapour this is called:

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

When plants give off drops of water it is called

• Transpiration

• Evaporation

• Condensation

When water flows back into the ocean it is called

• run-off

• transpiration

• precipitation

After condensation, the droplets of water in the clouds fall to Earth in different forms collectively known as ...

• precipitation

• condensation

• evaporation

Most evaporation in the water cycle happens in oceans because

• they are the largest bodies of water

• they contain salt

• they have ice in them

When tiny droplets of water form in the air it is called

• precipitation

• evaporation

• condensation

This is when water is absorbed into the ground.

• Condensation

• Infiltration

• Transpiration

• Runoff
