How are the water cycle processes of runoff and infiltration different?

• Runoff moves downhill and infiltration moves uphill.

• Runoff moves uphill whereas infiltration moves over bedrock.

• Runoff moves downhill, whereas infiltration moves through bedrock.

What type of water pollution can be caused by excess nutrients entering a body of water (sometimes causing the growth of harmful algae)?

• biological pollution

• eutrophication

• chemical pollution

• thermal pollution

The primary source of energy for the water cycle is...

• the ocean.

• the Sun.

• the atmosphere.

When water vapor condenses (condensation)...

• it turns into liquid water and forms clouds.

• water moves from the hydrosphere to the cryosphere

• water moves from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere

How are deforestation and climate change related?

• Less trees means more oxygen and more rain

• They aren't related

• less trees means more carbon dioxide in the air leading to higher temperatures over time

• less trees means less transpiration
