• b. It evaporates immediately into the atmosphere.
  

• c. It flows directly into rivers and streams.
  

• d. It forms clouds and later falls as rain.
  

How does precipitation that falls on land reach rivers and streams?

• a. It is intercepted by vegetation.

• b. It enters the soil and percolates into the ground.

• c. It evaporates into the atmosphere.
  

• d. It runs off if the ground is hardscaped.
  

What is the role of evapotranspiration in the Water Cycle?

• a. It is the process of water percolating through the ground.
  

• b. It is the evaporation of water from wet surfaces.
  

• c. It is the transpiration of water from plants.
  

• d. It is the condensation of water vapor into clouds.
  

7. What happens to evaporated water molecules in the atmosphere?
