Water Cycle Checkpoint Review

Which area would water evaporate the most quickly?

• Along the equator

• The Polar ice caps

• Northern United states

• Australia

The process by which plants give off water into the atmosphere is called

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Plantspiration

• Precipitation

What is surface runoff?

• When water cools and forms a cloud.

• When water moves into the ground.

• Evaporation of water from leaves of a plant.

• Water runs down and does not sink into the soil and eventually makes it to rivers, lakes and oceans.

What is groundwater?

• The release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by humans and animals.

• Water that runs down and does not sink into the soil, eventually moving into rivers, lakes and oceans.

• the water that is beneath Earth's surface.

• the downward movement of water through pores and other spaces in soil due to gravity.
