Water Cycle, Atmosphere, Heat Transfer

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.

On Earth, what process generates most of the water vapor?

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Transpiration

What is the energy source that drives the water cycle?

• The moon T

• The heat from our home in the winter all around the world

• The sun

• he heat generated solely from the core of the earth

What are formed when water vapor condenses?

• Clouds

• Mountains

• Transpiration

• Valleys

What is it called when plants give off water vapor as a waste product?

• condensation
• evaporation
• sublimation
• transpiration

Water in its gas form is called ____________________,

• water vapor

• precipitation

• ice

• air

Warm, less dense air (including vapor) rises in the atmosphere. Cool, more dense air (including vapor) sinks. This transfer is . . . .

• convection
• conduction
• radiation
• gravity

When water is heated in the ocean by the sun and turns into water vapor

• condensation
• evaporation
• transpiration
• runoff

When water vapor s cooled and forms droplets-

• Condensation
• Evaportation
• Transpiration
• Run-off

After condensation, the droplets of water in the clouds fall to the earth in different forms

• precipitation 
• condensation
• evaporation 
• ground water
