After a hot sunny day, a plant withers and dries up. Which explains how

this happens?

• The hot sun causes respiration of the plant’s water.

• The hot sun causes precipitation of the plant’s water.

• The hot sun causes transpiration of the plant’s water.

• The hot sun causes condensation of the plant’s water.

How does water from the ocean return to lakes in the mountains?

• Rivers bring water away from the oceans and to the mountains.

• Underground water reservoirs move water from the ocean to the

  mountains.

• The rotation of the Earth causes evaporation of the ocean’s water,

  which allows the winds to blow the moisture to the mountains.

• The sun’s energy causes evaporation of the ocean’s water, which

  condenses into clouds, precipitates, and refills bodies of water in the

  mountains.

Jamal filled his swimming pool in the middle of his backyard. He observed

the water level for several weeks and found it decreased over time.

Which explains why the water level most likely decreased?

• The volume of water changed because the air temperature cooled.

• Plants near the pool used the water via transpiration.

• Precipitation caused runoff in the pool area.

• There was evaporation caused by the sun.

How does an increase in water temperature caused by the sun impact the

water cycle?

• It causes evaporation.

• It causes precipitation.

• It causes transpiration.

• It causes condensation.

How does the sun’s energy affect a plant’s role in the water cycle?

• Increased energy from the sun increases transpiration.

• Decreased energy from the sun increases transpiration.

• Increased energy from the sun decreases photosynthesis.

• Decreased energy from the sun increases photosynthesis.

Heat from the sun increases the speed of which water cycle process?

• evaporation

• transpiration

• condensation

• precipitation

What must occur before clouds can form?

• Water vapor must get warmer.

• Water vapor must lose heat energy.

• Precipitation must begin to fall and run off.

• Transpiration must add water vapor to the atmosphere.

The atmosphere of Earth blocks many of the Sun’s rays. If weather patterns change and more of the Sun’s rays penetrate the atmosphere of Earth, which is MOST likely to increase?

• the number of daylight hours

• the evaporation of oceans

• the length of each season

• the pull of gravity
