Water Cycle and Climate Review

How does water move from an ocean to a high mountain glacier?

• Water evaporates from the ocean and condenses in clouds where wind currents move the clouds to the mountains. There it falls as snow and becomes part of the glacier.

• Ocean currents move water near the mountains where the water evaporated and then falls as rain and condenses on a glacier.

• Ocean currents move water near the mountains where the water is condensed and then falls as snow and evaporates into a glacier.

• Water evaporates from the ocean and precipitates into clouds where wind currents move the clouds to the mountains. There it falls as snow and becomes part of the glacier.

Why do the oceans level remain relatively constant.

• It is in constant motion due to tides and ocean currents.

• Humans can change the level due to need for drinking water.

• It is continually changing from a liquid state into a vapor.

• It is seeping underground into the ocean floor.

Alyssa takes two cups of water outside in the sun. Cup 1 is covered in plastic wrap and there is nothing on cup 2. Several hours later she brings both cups in. What happened to the water?

• The water level in cup 1 stayed the same because it's a closed system and cup 2 decreased due to evaporation.

• The water level in cup 1 increased because it's a closed system and cup 2 decreased due to evaporation

• The water levels in both cups were the same because the water evaporated.

• The water levels in both cups were the same because the water condensed.
