Water Cycle & Atmosphere

What is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas called?

• Precipitation

• Sublimation

• Condensation

• Evaporation

How does water vapor enter the atmosphere during the water cycle?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Sublimation

• Precipitation

What is the term for water droplets that collect on cool surfaces at night?

• Dew

• Hail

• Frost

• Rain

What is the primary source of energy that drives the water cycle?

• Sun

• Geothermal

• Wind

• Coal

What is the process by which water vapor changes back into liquid water called?

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Sublimation

• Condensation

What role do plants play in the water cycle?

• Plants help in cloud formation

• Plants regulate ocean currents

• Plants control volcanic eruptions

• Plants help in the absorption and release of water in the water cycle.

What is the term for the process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere?

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation

• transpiration

How does precipitation occur in the water cycle?

• Precipitation is caused by underground water sources rising to the surface and falling back down as rain.

• Precipitation happens when the Earth's rotation causes water to fall from the sky.

• Water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets or ice crystals, which fall to the Earth's surface as precipitation.

• Precipitation occurs when the sun evaporates water from the oceans directly into clouds.

What is the term for the process by which water moves through plants and evaporates from their leaves?

• respiration

• transpiration

• condensation

• perspiration

How does condensation contribute to the water cycle?

• Condensation results in the depletion of groundwater

• Condensation causes droughts in arid regions

• Condensation leads to the formation of hurricanes

• Condensation contributes to the water cycle by forming clouds that release precipitation.
