• condensation
• evaporation
• precipitation
• transpiration

Which abiotic factor most influences the water cycle?

• air
• sun
• soil
• wind

Which term best describes how plants release water in the form of water vapor?

• evaporation
• precipitation
• transpiration
• condensation

Which process impacts the water cycle by drawing water vapor from plant leaves?

• evaporation
• condensation
• precipitation
• transpiration

Which is the opposite of condensation?

• runoff
• evaporation
• precipitation
• transpiration

Which receives the greatest amount of water from runoff?

• fog
• lakes
• clouds
• plants

Which will increase transpiration?

• increase in evaporation
• decrease in evaporation
• increase in the sun's energy
• decrease in the sun's energy

Which best explains why runoff is important?

• It returns water to other locations on Earth
• It increases the chance of flooding
• It makes evaporation occur faster
• It increases condensation

Which best explains why most clouds form high in the atmosphere instead of close to the ground?

• Heat from the sun increases run-off
• Heat from the sun decreases condensation
• Heat from the sun causes air pressure to fall
• Heat from the sun causes water vapor to rise

Which most likely increases transpiration?

• increased runoff and increased cloud cover
• increased runoff and decreased cloud cover
• decreased runoff and increased cloud cover
• decreased runoff and decreased cloud cover
