Water Cycle EOU Review

How does water change forms during evaporation?

• It changes from liquid to gas

• It changes from a gas to a liquid

• It changes from solid to liquid

• It changes from liquid to solid

How does water move from the ocean to a mountain?

• Water freezes in the ocean and evaporates as snow onto the mountain

• Water moves from a vapor and condenses to form a cloud, at the top of the mountains it cools further and falls as snow

• Ocean currents move near the mountains and condenses into snow where it falls onto a mountain and evaporates as a glacier.

• Water vapor evaporates from the ocean and precipitates into clouds where it moves the clouds into mountains.

The oceans are the main source of the water in the water cycle. What would happen if the temperature of ocean water increased

• the water cycle would stop because the water is too warm

• There would be less precipitation filling the oceans

• There would be less water in the atmosphere becaause less evaporation would occur

• There would be more water in the atmosphere because more would evaporate

Which of these describes how water moves out of the ocean?

• Accumulating as bodies of water

• Condensing into clouds

• Evaporating into the air

• Escaping as transpiration

If you were to conduct an experiment to model the water cycle and you put one sealed cup of water in the sunlight and another sealed cup of water in the shade what would you most likely see after 2 hours.

• The cup in the sunlight was empty and the cup in the shade was full

• The cup in the sunlight would have more condensation than the cup in the shade

• The cup in the shade will have accumulated more water than the cup in the sunlight

• The cup in the shade will have more condensation than the cup in the sunlight.

If water evaporates from the ocean, why are the water levels always constant? Why don't the ocean eventually dry out?

• Water evaporates from the oceans and more water runsoff from mountains and collects from precipitation

• ocean water is constantly in motion from wind and tides

• Humans change water levels from water usage

• Water fills the oceans from precipitation and runoff and then collects until it floods inland

In an experiment two cups are placed outside from morning until night. One (cup A) is covered with a lid, and the other (Cup B) is open. What will the difference between the two cups be after 8 hours.

• Cup A will have more water due to accumulation and cup B will remain the same.

• Cup A will have the same amount of water because it is closed, while Cup B will have less water due to evaporation.

• Both cup A and Cup B will have less water due to evaporation.

• Cup A will have more water because of condestation and cup B will have less because of evaporation

Mrs Street lives in Florida, in a tropical climate near the eqator at 23 degrees north, and Ms Switzers family is from New York, which is at 55 degrees North. How would the climate be different between the two locations?

• Florida is warmer most of the year while New York is cooler and has four seasons

• New York has more moderate winters than Florida

• Summers in New York are harsher than summers in Florida

• Florida has a rainy season and makes it cooler in the summer than New York
