In which way are evaporation and condensation similar?

• Both cause decreases in air temperature.

• Both cause increases in air temperature.

• Both are caused by the warming of the atmosphere.

• Both are caused by changes in heat energy.

• transpiration

• evaporation

• condensation

What must occur before clouds can form?

• Water vapor must get warmer.

• Water vapor must lose heat energy.

• Precipitation must begin to fall and run off.

• Transpiration must add water vapor to the atmosphere.

Which process allows green plants to control the amount of water stored in their

leaves?

• photosynthesis

• condensation

• respiration

• transpiration

One morning, Jane notices drops of water on the outside of a window. Later in the

day, she notices that the drops have disappeared. What most likely caused the

drops to disappear?

• The water condensed on the plants around the house.

• Energy from the sun caused the water to evaporate.

• The water cooled enough to turn into water vapor.

• Wind blowing on the window turned the water into vapor.

• runoff

• evaporation

• condensation

One morning, a student notices that the grass in the area is wet, although it had

not rained during the night. What could have caused the grass to be wet?

• During the night, water had evaporated from the trees in the area.

• The air above the ground became warmer during the night and caused

  precipitation.

• When the air cooled above ground during the night, water vapor condensed

  on the grass.

• The grass soaked up water from the ground during the night.

How does the energy from the sun influence the water cycle?

• by trapping water particles in clouds

• by turning liquid water into water vapor

• by causing water to precipitate

• by creating winds in the atmosphere

• by runoff

• by transpiration
