Exploring the Water Cycle

What is the first stage of the water cycle?

• Transpiration

• Precipitation

• Condensation

• Evaporation

During which stage does water vapor cool and condense?

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Sublimation

• Precipitation

What process involves water moving from the ground to the atmosphere?

• Transpiration

• Precipitation

• Condensation

• Evaporation

What is the term for water falling from clouds to the ground?

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

Which stage of the water cycle involves the transformation of liquid water into vapor?

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

What is the process called when plants release water vapor into the air?

• Evaporation

• Photosynthesis

• Condensation

• Transpiration

In which stage does precipitation occur?

• Condensation stage

• Sublimation stage

• Transpiration stage

• Evaporation stage

What happens to water during the infiltration process?

• Water freezes into ice layers.

• Water flows over the surface without soaking in.

• Water seeps into the soil and underlying layers.

• Water evaporates into the atmosphere.

What is the role of the sun in the water cycle?

• The sun powers the water cycle by providing energy for evaporation.

• The sun cools the water, causing condensation.

• The sun absorbs water from the ground directly.

• The sun creates clouds through chemical reactions.

How does evaporation contribute to the water cycle?

• Evaporation only occurs in oceans and does not contribute to rainfall.

• Evaporation contributes to the water cycle by transforming liquid water into vapor, which rises and eventually condenses to form precipitation.

• Evaporation is a process that removes water from the soil directly.

• Evaporation cools the atmosphere without affecting water levels.
