Understanding the Water Cycle

What are the stages of the water cycle?

• Sublimation, Filtration, Infiltration, Desalination

• Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Collection

• Precipitation, Filtration, Evaporation, Distillation

• Condensation, Filtration, Evaporation, Collection

What happens during evaporation?

• Evaporation occurs only at freezing temperatures.

• Evaporation is when vapor condenses into liquid.

• Evaporation is the process where liquid molecules gain energy and turn into vapor.

• Evaporation is the process of solid turning into liquid.

Can you explain what condensation is?

• Condensation is the evaporation of liquid water into vapor.

• Condensation is the process of ice melting into water.

• Condensation is the process of water vapor turning into liquid water.

• Condensation is the process of water turning into steam.

Why is water important for us?

• Water is vital for hydration, bodily functions, and overall health.

• Water is primarily used for cleaning and washing.

• Water is harmful to our health in large quantities.

• Water is only necessary for cooking food.

What do you see in a water cycle diagram?

• Irrigation, drainage, evaporation, and filtration.

• Sublimation, freezing, melting, and boiling.

• Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

• Desalination, filtration, chlorination, and storage.

What comes after evaporation in the water cycle?

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Infiltration

How does water turn into vapor?

• Water turns into vapor via filtration.

• Water turns into vapor through condensation.

• Water turns into vapor through evaporation.

• Water turns into vapor by freezing.

What do clouds have to do with the water cycle?

• Clouds are made of dust particles and have no role in the water cycle.

• Clouds only form during winter and do not affect rainfall.

• Clouds are created by pollution and do not contribute to precipitation.

• Clouds are formed from condensed water vapor and are essential for precipitation in the water cycle.

Why do plants need water from the water cycle?

• Plants need water from the water cycle for photosynthesis, nutrient transport, and maintaining cell structure.

• Plants need water for decoration purposes.

• Plants absorb water to produce oxygen only.

• Plants require water to grow fruits and vegetables.

Can you name one way we use water every day?

• Swimming

• Drinking

• Washing clothes

• Watering plants
