Sustainability, according to our syllabus, is defined as:

• balanced use of resources

• the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the future needs

• the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

The part of the hydrologic cycle were water changes from a gas to a liquid

• condensation

• evaporation

• transpiration

• through-flow

Which word or phrase LEAST fits the pattern of the other 3?

• transpiration

• infiltration

• interception

• surface runoff

Which word or phrase LEAST fits the pattern of the other 3?

• precipitation

• through-flow

• evaporation

• infiltration

Which word or phrase LEAST fits the pattern of the other 3?

• condensation

• precipitation

• infiltration

• transpiration

This occurs when water leaves the leaves.

• condensation

• transpiration

• infiltration

• interception

Natural interception is beneficial in the hydrologic cycle because it:

• Cleans the water of toxins prior to infiltrating into the soil

• Allows animals such as bees and ants to drink water before it infiltrates into soils

• Slows the flow of water, which can lead to increased rates of infiltration

• Increases the rate at which water cycles, making it widely available to living creatures.
