Water Cycle

During which stage do clouds form?

• condensation
• evaporation
• precipitation

Which stages does liquid water from the ocean turn into water vapor?

• condesantion
• evaporation
• precipitation
• run off

Which stage does the #2 show in the diagram?

• condensation
• evaporation
• precipitation
• run off

Which stage does the #3 show in the diagram?

• condensation
• evaporation
• precipitation
• run off

How do the sun and ocean interact to form?

• A. Energy from the Sun causes water in the ocean to evaporate. Cooler air causes the water vapor to condense to form a cloud.

• B. The absorption of sunlight by ocean water near the surface forms a cloud.

• C. Heat from the Sun attracts clouds that move towards the ocean.

• D. Energy from the Sun causes water to become water vapor. The water vapor becomes a cloud during precipitation.

Forms of precipitation include--

• A. snow, sleet, and hail only

• B. rain and snow only

• C. sleet, snow, rain, and hail

• D. hail and rain only

What change occurs during evaporation?

• A. Water vapor changes to solid water

• B. Liquid water changes to water vapor

• C. Water vapor becomes liquid water

• D. Water vapor is absorbed into the soil on Earth's surface.

The water cycle is a continuous movement of water on Earth. In the diagram, which process is labeled by the letter X?

• A. Sublimination

• B. Transpiration

• C. Absorbation

• D. Evaporation

The pictures show the sidewalk at four different times on the same day. Which process most likely occurred between 10am and 2pm?

• evaporation

• condensation

• precipitation

• transpiration

The movement of water into the air as water vapor and back to the Earth's surface as liquid or solid

• sun

• transpiration
