Water Cycle

The changes to water when it cycles the earth is called

• the moon cycle
• the sun cycle
• the water cycle
• the wind cycle

When water vapor s cooled and forms droplets-

• Condensation
• Evaportation
• Transpiration
• Run-off

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

• condensation
• evaporation
• sublimation
• transpiration

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

• condensation
• evaporation
• transpiration
• runoff

What is precipitation?

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.
• The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.
• The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

On which kind of day would you expect the most evaporation from the surface of a pond?

• cold, rainy
• cold, sunny
• warm, rainy
• warm, sunny

What is water vapor?

• Water on the land (geosphere)
• Water in the air (atmosphere)
• Water in plants
• Water in the water (hydrosphere)

What is the role of the sun in the water cycle?

• provide heat energy for evaporation

• provide heat energy for condensation

• dry out the soil for runoff to occur

• provide thermal energy for accumulation

What do we call water in its gas state?

• rain

• snow

• ice

• water vapor

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

• condensation
• precipitation
• evaporation
