Water Cycle Review

• Evaporation-physical change in matter from a liquid to a gas

• Condensation-physical change in matter from a gas to a liquid

• Precipitation- rain, snow, sleet, and hail that falls from clouds in the sky

• Runoff - the movement of water on a surface to areas of lower elevation

• Evaporation-physical change in matter from a liquid to a gas

• Condensation-physical change in matter from a gas to a liquid

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 

Condensation creates-

• rain 
• clouds
• ice
• groundwater 

In which step of the water cycle does water change from liquid to a gas?

• evaporation
• condenstation
• participation 
• accumulation 

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

The constant movement of water from earths surface to the atmosphere and back to earth's surface is called the water cycle.

• True

• False
