Answer

Water Cycle

Question 7

The amount of water vapor in a given volume of air.

Accepted Answer

Humidity

Answer

Dew Point

Answer

Question 8

The process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas.

Accepted Answer

Evaporation

Answer

Condensation

Answer

Precipitation

Answer

Water Cycle

Question 9

The temperature at which condensation begins.

Accepted Answer

Dew Point

Answer

Humidity

Answer

Relative Humidity

Question 10

The percentage of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor that air can contain at a particular temperature.

Accepted Answer

Relative Humidity

Answer

Dew Point

Answer

Humidity

Question 11

Colin knows that the water cycle follows certain steps in a repeating cycle. When the sun heats water molecules, they increase speed and collide. On Sunday he noticed that a puddle on the sidewalk was getting smaller over time. Which step in the water cycle would Colin predict is occurring?

Accepted Answer

evaporation

Answer

condensation

Answer

respiration

Answer

precipitation

Question 12

The meteorologist talked about how humidity affects weather and then predicted the humidity for the next week. Knowing that the amount of humidity would affect the coming weather, what 90% humidity on Tuesday indicate?

Accepted Answer

There will be a high level of water vapor in the air on that day.

Answer

There will be a low level of air pressure on that day.

Answer

There will be a high level of air pressure on that day.

Answer

There will be a low level of water vapor in the air on that day.

Question 13

Colin knows that as water moves through the water cycle, condensation also takes place. Condensation occurs when water vapor cools and the water vapor must attach to a particle in the air, such as dust or smoke particles. What would be evidence of condensation occurring?

Accepted Answer

Clouds are forming.

Answer

It begins to rain.

Answer

It is a clear sunny day.

Question 14

After the science lesson on the water cycle, Javier started thinking about what powered it. He knows energy is needed to drive the water cycle, so what provides the energy to power the water cycle? Choose the two that apply.

Accepted Answer

gravity

Accepted Answer

the sun

Answer

condensation

Answer

temperature
