Unit 6 - Lesson 1 Water Cycle

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

• condensation

• precipitation

• evaporation

• transpiration

In the water cycle, the sun provides

• energy for water to evaporate from oceans, lakes and rivers.
• water for evaporation to happen. 
• energy to produce electricity. 
• water for condensation to happen. 

Which best explains why runoff is important?

• It returns water to other locations on Earth

• It increases the chance of flooding

• It makes evaporation occur faster

• It increases condensation

The water cycle has

• a beginning and an end. 
• no beginning an no end. 
• only a beginning. 
• only an end. 

When water _________, dew forms.

• Melts
• Evaporates
• Condenses
• Precipitates

When water changes from a liquid to a solid it is known as...

• melting.

• condensation.

• freezing.

• evaporation.

Is precipitation any form of water that falls back to earth?

• Yes

• No

As a part of the water cycle, water from Earth's surface enters the clouds and finally falls back to the ground in the form of rain. What is the correct sequence of processes water undergoes in this example?

• Precipitation, Condensation, Evaporation

• Condensation, Evaporation, Precipitation

• Evaporation, Precipitation, Condensation

When water changes from a solid to a liquid it is known as...

• melting.

• condensation.

• freezing.

• evaporation.

When water changes directly from a gas to a solid, such as frost on a window, it is known as...

• evaporation.

• sublimation.

• condensation.

• deposition.
