Match the following

• Evaporation

• condensation falling onto land in the form of rain, sleet, hail, snow, and mist. Only 10% of water evaporated falls as precipitation.

• Condensation

• the opposite of evaporation; it occurs when air cools and the vapor collects into liquid form.

• Groundwater storage

• occurs when the sun heats water up and it becomes vapor in the air.

• Infiltration

• the downward movement of water from the land surface into the soil or porous rock. Ground water begins as precipitation. Once water infiltrates the soil it can move vertically and horizontally through the soil.

• Precipitation

• is the water that exists for long periods below the Earth’s surface.

Which statement best explains why ocean water is salty?

• Rivers bring weathered salts to the ocean, where it is not evaporated.

• Clouds transport salt water over the ocean, where it falls as precipitation.

• Energy from the Sun breaks down rocks in the ocean, where it releases salt.

• Wind carries eroded salt to the ocean, where it collects into salt formations.

What is the relationship between groundwater and surface water?

• Surface water percolates (moves) through the soil to form groundwater.
• There is no relationship between surface and groundwater.
• Groundwater filters through the soil to form surface water.
• Surface water is found in lakes directly above underground water sources.
