The Water Cycle is..

• the continuous recycling of water on, above, and below Earth's surface.

• the process of water changing from water vapor to liquid water
• the process of water falling from clouds back to Earth's surface

• water molecules. that are less dense than the air and rise

Water vapor molecules rise because.....

• they love to fly

• they are more dense that the air around them
• they are responding to changes in barometric pressure
• they are less dense than the air around them

• in groundwater and aquifers

• in fog and low-level clouds

• in the polar ice caps

When water molecules change from water vapor to liquid water, they are

• evaporating
• transpiring
• precipitating
• condensing

Collection areas are

• water that is stored below Earth's surface
• excess surface water that drains into streams, rivers, and the ocean
• water that sits or moves on Earth's surface

• large storage areas for water on earth (oceans, lakes, glaciers, ice caps)

• True
• False

Water molecules condense when...

• when they are more dense than the air around them and fall back to Earth
• they are less dense than the air around them and start to rise
• they cool and clump together with other water molecules

• they evaporate from the leaves of plants through transpiration
