4.2 The Water Cycle

Water is made up of...

• hydrogen and oxygen

• hydrogen and sun

• oxygen and hydroelectricity

• nothing

The water cycle is...

• A cycle where seasons change through the year.

• A continuous cycle where water evaporates, travels into the air and then falls again.

• The passing of time.

• The life cycle.

What are the 4 steps of the water cycle?

• fall, winter, spring, summer

• Radiant, solar, wind, geothermal

• Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Accumulation/Collection

• Evaporation, Precipitation, boiling, melting

Evaporation is...

• liquid falling from the clouds

• Vapor to steam rising from lakes/oceans/rivers because of heat from the sun.

• water vapor in the clouds

• runoff back into oceans/lakes/rivers

The process by which molecules of water vapor become liquid water.

• transpiration

• evaporation

• condensation

• accumulation

Collection/Accumulation is when...

• when steam rises from lakes/rivers/oceans.

• when vapor turns to liquid in the clouds

• water falling back to earth gets recollected in water sources.

• when liquids change to solids
