Bill Bye Water Cycle

____________ occurs when water vapor changes from gas to liquid and sticks to cold surfaces as little, tiny droplets of water.

• Evaporation
• Condensation
• Precipitation
• Collection

Clouds form when water vapor condenses and sticks to:

• heat in the air.
• dust particles in the air.
• raindrops.
• glass surfaces

Which of the following is a form of precipitation?

• rain
• snow
• hail
• all of the above

During collection, water is collected in all of these places EXCEPT:

• in snow
• in rivers
• in clouds
• in oceans

Evaporation is:

• true

• false

Which of the following best describes how water evaporates?
