Water Cycle Test

We describe the water cycle as the movement of from the surface into the air and back again to Earth's surface.

• Sun

• Water

• Precipitation

• Movement

When liquid water changes into a gas called water vapor this is called:

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Runoff

Water begins to evaporate when you add Cold Ice Water Cycle Heat

• Cold and rainy

• Cold and sunny

• Warm and rainy

• Warm and sunny

Which kind of weather would you expect the most evaporation from on the surface of a pond?

• Cold and rainy

• Warm and sunny

• Cold and sunny

• Warm and rainy

When water vapor gas begins to change back into a liquid this is called:

• evaporation

• precipitation

• condensation

• water cycle

Which of the following shows examples of different types of precipitation? rain, snow, hail

• snow, condensation, sleet

• rain, water cycle, hail

The is the beginning source of energy that evaporates the most water from Earth's surface.

• Geothermal

• Volcano

• Wind

• Sun

Where do we see condensation happening in the water cycle?

• When clouds are forming.

• When ocean water is changing to water vapor.

• When water is flowing down a river.

• When underground water is soaking into rocks and soil.

What happens to water after it falls from clouds as rain?

• It will flow down mountains and hills and collect into a lake, river, or ocean.

• It will form a puddle.

• It will soak into the soil.

• Choices A, B, and C.
