Water Cycle Review

Evaporation and transpiration are both a state changes from _____.

• Liquid to gas

• Solid to liquid

• Gas to liquid

Precipitation is described as ______________.

• Water that comes from the clouds

• Water on land

• Water underground

Two steps past ground water on our model of the water cycle would have water in which possible place(s)?

• Evaporation or Condensation

• Condensation or Precipitation

• Precipitation or Evaporation

When water vapor is forced upward into the sky, the drop in temperature causes this to happen.

• Forms clouds

• Makes thunder

• Creates lightning

Where does precipitation eventually end up in liquid or solid form?

• In a collection

• Turning into radiation

• Turning into transpiration

What is the cause for evaporation and transpiration?

• When enough solar radiation is absorbed by water to change it from a liquid to a gas.

• When enough light is absorbed by water to change it from a liquid to a solid

• There is no cause

When water droplets in the clouds become too heavy to stay in the sky and fall due to gravity.

• Precipitation

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Radiation

Which sentence correctly describes groundwater/percolation/infiltration?

• None of the options are correct.

• When water droplets in the clouds become too heavy to stay in the sky and fall due to gravity.

• Water that is absorbed into the Earth, moving through the spaces between the particles of soil.

Which ones of the following are collections? (Pick more than one)

• Lakes

• Glaciers

• Plants

Any liquid precipitation that does not get absorbed and moves down slope like rivers and streams.

• Surface Runoff

• Transpiration

• Evaporation
