The Water Cycle

What is the first step of the water cycle?

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Transpiration

• Condensation

What happens during precipitation in the water cycle?

• Water falls back to Earth's surface

• Water turns into vapor

• Water is absorbed by plants

• Water forms clouds

Which process involves water being released back into the atmosphere from plants?

• Transpiration

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

Why is the water cycle important for life on Earth?

• It regulates climate and distributes heat and moisture

• It prevents water from evaporating

• It stops precipitation

• It eliminates the need for groundwater

What forms clouds in the water cycle?

• Condensation of water vapor

• Evaporation of water

• Precipitation of rain

• Transpiration from plants
