The water cycle is ____________

• The process by which water moves in and out of the atmosphere. 
• A blanket of air that surrounds the earth.
• gravitational pull of the moon causing the oceans on the Earth to rise and fall. 
• the creation of oxygen by plant through photosynthesis.  

A student looks outside her window after it has rained. She sees many puddles of water. later that same day, the puddles are gone. Which process explains why the puddles are gone? 

• accumulation of runoff
• precipitation 
• evaporation 
• condensation 

What provides the energy for  the water cycle? 

• The water 
• The earth 
• The moon
• The sun

Condensation creates-

• rain 
• clouds
• ice
• groundwater 

Water that falls to Earth’s surface as rain, snow, or ice is called

• evaporation
• condensation
• transpiration
• precipitation

Condensation occurs when water vapor cools and changes from a 

• gas to a solid
• liquid to a gas
• gas to a liquid
• solid to a gas

Time and time again, water cycles through Earth. Therefore, the amount of water on Earth

• increases

• stays the same

• increases
