Water Cycle

What drives the water cycle?

• rain

• temperature

• the Sun

• rotation

What step of the water cycle does this picture show?

• Condensation

• Runoff

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

The process when plants release water vapor from their leaves is called _____________.

• precipitation

• evaporation

• transpiration

• condensation

When water vapor is cooled and forms droplets of liquid water

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Runoff

Where is groundwater stored?

• in lakes and rivers

• in underground lakes

• in cracks and pores beneath Earth's surface

• in mid-ocean ridges

Rain soaks into the ground

• Infiltration
• Condensation
• Throughflow
• Surface runoff

Water flows along the surface. This happens if the ground is very hard or wet which makes it impermeable i.e. water cannot pass through. 

• Throughflow
• Infiltration
• Surface runoff
• Groundwater

Where is most water found on Earth?

• glaciers
• lakes
• rivers
• oceans

What is the water cycle?

• the 3 forms of water
• the movement of water on, above, or below the surface of the Earth
• when water melts
• when clouds form

Snow, sleet, hail, and rain are all examples of  ________________. 

• evaporation
• condensation
• accumulation
• precipitation
