After a hot sunny day, a plant withers and dries up. Which explains how this happens?

• The hot sun causes respiration of the plant’s water.

• The hot sun causes precipitation of the plant’s water.

• The hot sun causes transpiration of the plant’s water.

• The hot sun causes condensation of the plant’s water.

How does water from the ocean return to lakes in the mountains?

• Rivers bring water away from the oceans and to the mountains.

• Underground water reservoirs move water from the ocean to the mountains.

• The rotation of the Earth causes evaporation of the ocean’s water, which allows the winds to blow the moisture to the mountains.

• The sun’s energy causes evaporation of the ocean’s water, which condenses into clouds, precipitates, and refills bodies of water in the mountains.

Jamal filled his swimming pool in the middle of his backyard. He observed the water level for several weeks and found it decreased over time. Which explains why the water level most likely decreased?

• The volume of water changed because the air temperature cooled.

• Plants near the pool used the water via transpiration.

• Precipitation caused runoff in the pool area.

• There was evaporation caused by the sun.

How does the sun’s energy affect a plant’s role in the water cycle?

• Increased energy from the sun increases transpiration.

• Decreased energy from the sun increases transpiration.

• Increased energy from the sun decreases photosynthesis.

• Decreased energy from the sun increases photosynthesis.

After Todd took a hot shower, he noticed that the bathroom mirror looked foggy. He could not see his reflection. Which statement BEST explains what happened?

• Water froze on the mirror because its surface was cold.

• Hot water splashed on the mirror and heated its surface.

• Water evaporated when it touched the hot mirror’s surface.

• Water vapor condensed when it touched the cold mirror’s surface.

A glass of cold water is set on a desktop. Later that day, beads of water had formed on the

outside of the glass. The MOST likely explanation for the beads of water is that

• some water dripped over the side.

• the water soaked through the glass.

• water vapor condensed on the sides.

• someone sprayed the glass with water.
