Weather, Climate, and Water Cycling

How does water from the ocean end up as snow on a mountain?

• The water stay in the same place.

• The water is carry by the energy.

• The water never moves.

• The water cycle describes how water moves from one location to another on Earth.

How does water leave the ocean?

• Evaporates water and all the sediments.

• Evaporates water and all the minerals.

• Evaporates water and oil.

• Only water evaporates leaving back the salt.

What makes water evaporate?

• An increase in energy can cause liquid water to evaporate and become water vapor.

• An increase in cold weather can cause liquid water to evaporate and become water vapor.

• A decrease in energy can cause liquid water to evaporate and become water vapor.

• An increase in chemical substances can cause liquid water to evaporate and become water vapor.

How does water vapor become a cloud?

• When water vapor gains energy it condenses and liquid water forms.

• When water vapor loses energy it condenses and liquid water forms.

• When water vapor loses energy it condenses and vapor water forms.

• When water vapor takes energy it condenses and liquid water forms.

What causes rain or snow to fall to Earth?

• Evaporation brings water back to Earth through the process of precipitation.

• Gravity brings water back to Earth through the process of precipitation.

• Weather factors brings water back to Earth through the process of evaporation.

• Condensation brings water back to Earth through the process of precipitation.

Where does water go after it falls to Earth as precipitation?

• It disappears.
• We never see it again.
• Water on Earth is stored in reservoirs. 
• It stores in other galaxies.

What keeps the water cycle moving?

• Only gravity play a role in the cycling of water.

• Only water density play a role in the cycling of water.

• Only energy from the sun play a role in the cycling of water.

• Both energy from the sun and gravity play a role in the cycling of water.

What is a correct description of a water cycle?

• Energy from factories causes water in the ocean gain heat energy and evaporate, only the water evaporates. Water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses into water droplets as it loses heat energy. Billions of water droplets form clouds. When the water droplets become too heavy, gravity pulls them to Earth as precipitation. If it is cold enough the precipitation will be snow.

• Water vapor in the atmosphere gain more termo energy. Billions of water droplets form clouds. When the water droplets become too light, gravity pulls them to Earth as precipitation. If it is cold enough the precipitation will be snow.

• Energy from the sun causes water in the ocean gain heat energy and evaporate, only the water evaporates. Water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses into water droplets as it loses heat energy. Billions of water droplets form clouds. When the water droplets become too heavy, gravity pulls them to Earth as precipitation. If it is cold enough the precipitation will be snow.

• Energy from animals and plants causes water in the ocean gain heat energy and evaporate, only the water evaporates. Water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses into water droplets as it loses heat energy. Billions of water droplets form clouds. The water droplets become too light, gravity pulls them to Earth as precipitation. If it is cold enough the precipitation will be snow.

What causes water to cycle through Earth's system?

• Changes in energy, density, and gravity cause water to cycle through Earth’s systems.

• Density, and gravity cause water to cycle through Earth’s systems

• Changes in energy and gravity cause water to cycle through Earth’s systems

• Changes in energy causes water to cycle through Earth’s systems

Energy from the sun heats the water in the Ocean. This causes water molecules to gain more energy as they increase their speed they leave the ocean becoming a gas, or water vapor. The water vapor is less dense than liquid water, so it rinses into the atmosphere. This is the process of......

• Condensation
• Precipitation
• Filtration
• Evaporation
