Water Cycle Summative Assessment ACC

Evaporation is a state change from?

• Ice to liquid.

• Liquid to gas.

• Gas to solid.

• Crystals to water.

What part of the water cycle takes place when any form of water falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Water accumulation

• Precipitation

What part of the water cycle takes place when water vapor sticks to particles in the air and forms clouds?

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Water accumulation

T/F: The water cycle is driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity.

• True

• False

T/F: Only water from the ocean is evaporated.

• True

• False

T/F: A state change from solid to liquid is called condensation.

• True

• False

runoff

• excess water, not absorbed by the soil, that flows downhill.
• water found above ground, on land.
• the change of water from a liquid state to a gas state, due to an increase in temperature.
  
• water held underground in soil or rock.

ground water

• water that falls from clouds in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
• excess water, not absorbed by the soil, that flows downhill.
  
• water found above ground, on land.
• water held underground in soil or rock.

transpiration

• the change of water from a liquid state to a gas state, due to an increase in temperature.
  
• the path water takes, and the changes it goes through, as it cycles  through the environment.
  
• the process where plants absorb water through the roots and then gives off water vapor through pores in their leaves.
  
• the process by which water changes from a gas to a liquid state.
