Water Cycles

The class created models of the water cycle in plastic bags. Which would represent the precipitation stage of the water cycle?

• The amount of water in the cup.

• The water vapor at the top of the bag.

• The amount of sunlight heating the water.

• The water droplets running down the side of the bag.

How does water from the ocean become different forms of precipitation?

• Water evaporates; precipitation falls; the sun warms the ocean water; clouds form

• Clouds are formed through condensation, the sun warms the ocean water; precipitation falls; water evaportates

• Precipitation falls to the ground; clouds form;the sun evaporates water from the ocean

• The sun warms the ocean; water evaporates and then condenses into clouds; precipitation falls to the ground.

What must happen to water vapor in order for it to turn into liquid droplets?

• It must be heated.

• It must be cooled.

• It must remain the same temperature.

• It must be pushed by wind.

What would happen if less water evaporated from the oceans?

• Ocean levels would increase and there would be more precipitation.

• Ocean levels would decrease and there would be more precipitation.

• Ocean levels would increase and there would be less precipitation.

• Ocean levels would decrease and there would be less precipitation.

What roles does the Sun play in the water cycle?

• The sun provides light energy so that water will evaporate.

• The Sun provides heat energy so that water will condenses.

• The Sun provides light energy so that water will accumulate.

• The Sun provides heat energy so that water will evaporate.

The water cycle requires energy to make the process work.Where does that energy come from?

• Strong winds that blows from the west

• heavy rainfall

• the Moon´s orbit around the earth

• the Sun´s light and heat energy
