During the water cycle, when water evaporates from plant leaves, it is called...

• condensation.

• collection.

• transpiration.

• percolation.

When water gains enough energy to turn into water vapor, it is called...

• collection.

• percolation.

• transpiration.

• evaporation.

What happens when water vapor in the air looses heat?

• It transpires.

• It condenses.

• It evaporates.

• It percolates.

During your favorite class (science, duh!) there was a downpour of rain outside. You go outside after it stops and the ground is soggy. What is it called when water seeps into the ground?

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Percolation

• Condensation

What step in the water cycle is responsible for fog & clouds?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Collection

• Runoff
