Water Cycle

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

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

When plants give off drops of water it is called....

• Transpiration

• Evaporation

• Condensation

Rain, sleet, snow, and hail

• Precipitation

• Condensation

• Transpiration

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

• precipitation

• condensation

• evaporation

Most evaporation in the water cycle happens in oceans because

• they are the largest bodies of water

• they contain salt

• they have ice in them

The sun's energy

• changes daily

• heats the ocean before evaporation

• Does not affect the water cycle because it it hot and the opposite of water

The ________________ is the driving force of the Earth's weather

• moon

• stars

• sun

When drops of water fall down from the sky...

• evaporation

• condensation

• precipitation

Precipitation occurs because

• the droplets evaporate in the air

• the droplets are too light for the air to hold

• the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold

When water vapor is cooled and forms droplets...

• condensation

• evaporation
