Jack noticed that a puddle was gone that was there on his walk to school. What happened to the puddle?

• It evaporated

• It melted

• It condensed

Snow and hail are examples of​ (a)  

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Condensation

When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid to a  ​ ​ (a)  

• gas

• solid

Match the following

• Infiltration

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

• Evaporation

• is the water that runs off land back into an ocean or river.

• Condensation

• 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.

• runoff

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

• Precipitation

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

The process of  water that is added to the atmosphere from plants is called

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Transpiration

What is it called when plants give off water vapor as a waste product?

• condensation

• evaporation

• sublimation

• transpiration

On which kind of day would you expect the most evaporation from the surface of a pond?

• cold, rainy

• cold, sunny

• warm, rainy

• warm, sunny
