Water and Carbon Cycle

What is the water cycle?

• the 3 forms of water
• the movement of water on, above, or below the surface of the Earth
• when water melts
• when clouds form

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

• condensation
• precipitation
• evaporation

Which is the opposite of condensation?

• runoff
• evaporation
• precipitation
• transpiration

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

Snow, sleet, hail, and rain are all examples of  ________________. 

• evaporation
• condensation
• accumulation
• precipitation

What is it called when plants give off water vapor as a waste product?

• condensation
• evaporation
• sublimation
• transpiration

What is the energy source for the water cycle?

• the sun
• the earth
• water
• the moon

During which stage do clouds form?

• condensation
• evaporation
• precipitation

What is a layer of rock or sediment that holds water?

• glacier
• well
• aquifer
• natural spring

As a part of the water cycle, water from Earth's surface enters the clouds and finally falls back to the ground in the form of rain. What is the correct sequence of processes water undergoes?
