GEOGRAPHY/THE WATER CYCLE - FORM 2

Another name for the water cycle is

• artesian cycle

• hydrological cycle

• water table

Evaporation occurs when

• water falling to the ground as rain, snow or hail

• water vapor in the air cools and changes into tiny drops of water making clouds

• the sun heats up water on lands in rivers, lakes and seas and turns it into water vapor

The process occurring at "1" is

• condensation

• evaporation

• infiltration

The process occurring at "3" is

• condensation

• evaporation

• infiltration

The process occurring at "6"

• condensation

• evaporation

• infiltration

The process occurring at "8" is

• surface flow

• infiltration

• underground flow

The difference between permeable and non-permeable rocks is

• permeable rocks allow gas and water to pass through them whereas non-permeable do not allow gas and water to pass through them

• permeable rocks do not allow gas and water to pass through them whereas non-permeable allow gas and water to pass through them

Some examples of surface water resources are

• rivers

• streams

• artesian basins

• reservoirs

• lakes

In the diagram of the water table, "A" represents

• zone of intermittent saturation

• zone of permanent saturation

• zone of non-saturation

In the diagram of the water table, "B" represents

• zone of permanent saturation

• zone of intermittent saturation

• zone of non-saturation
