Lesson 2 Water cycle

When water is heated in the ocean and turns into water vapor

• evaporation

• condensation

• precipitation

• precipitation

When water vapor is cooled and forms droplets

• evaporation

• condensation

• precipitation

• accumulation

After condensation the water droplets fall to the Earth in different forms of-

• evaporation

• condensation

• precipitation

• accumulation

The forms of precipitation are: rain, snow, sleet, and hail

• Yes

• No

Precipitation occurs because

• the droplets evaporate in the air

• the droplets are too light for the air to hold

• the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold

The water cycle has no start or end.

• True

• False

The sun drives the water cycle by

• heating the ocean

• rotating on its axis

• giving light to plants

When water turns into a gas-

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation

• transpiration

Clouds contain water vapor

• True

• False
