Hydrologic Cycle

What is the driving force of the Hydrologic Cycle?

• The sun

• The earth

• The water

• The moon

What is condensation?

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.
• The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.
• The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are all examples of

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Runoff

• Transpiration

The conversion of water vapor back into a liquid is called:

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Transpiration

The process of turning water into water vapor is called:

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Transpiration

The Ocean is known as a Reservoir. What does that mean?

• It is an area where large amounts of water collect

• It is reserved for a later date

• What's the Ocean? Never heard of it.

• It is an area where water typically cannot be found

Matter cannot be made or destroyed but it can be moved through Earth's spheres.

• Law of Conservation of Matter

• Law of Revelation of Matter

• Law of Refraction of Matter

• Law of Convulsion of Matter

What is the largest reservoir for water?

• the ocean

• rocks and minerals

• the atmosphere

• glaciers
