Water cycle

In which area would the rate of evaporation be the lowest?

• Over the ocean

• Over rain forests

• Over rivers

• Over the desert

As a part of the water cycle, water from Earth's surface enters the clouds and finally falls back to the ground in the form of rain. What is the correct sequence of processes water undergoes?

• Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation

• Precipitation, Condensation, Evaporation

• Condensation, Evaporation, Precipitation

• Evaporation, Precipitation, Condensation

What would happen if the Sun is removed from the water cycle?

• The water cycle would not include precipitation but would continue with groundwater flow.

• The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration.

• The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides energy for the formation of clouds.

• The water cycle would not include evaporation and transpiration but would continue with condensation.

Which process is the formation of clouds?

• condensation

• Evaporation

• freezing

• Melting

During which stage does water hit the earth and flow back towards the ocean?

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Run-off

Rain and snow are two different forms of precipitation that fall on Earth's surface. Which factor is responsible for there being different forms of precipitation?

• Gravity

• Force

• Temperature

• transpiration

What is precipitation?

• Sweat from our bodies on hot days

• Warm rain but not cold snow or sleet

• Water turning into a gas and rising into the sky

• Any form of water that falls from the sky

What is another name for the water cycle?

• Aqua cycle

• Carbon cycle

• H2O cycle

• Hydrologic cycle

What is the energy source that drives the water cycle?

• The moon

• The heat generated from the Earth

• Gravity

• The sun

what is formed when water vapor condenses (or joins together) ?

• Rain

• Mountains

• Clouds

• Oceans
