Cycle de L'Eau

During a science class, Priya and Scarlett learned about the water cycle. How does transpiration contribute to the water cycle?

• It increases the amount of water in the soil.

• It decreases the amount of water in the atmosphere.

• It releases water vapor into the atmosphere from plants.

• It converts water vapor directly into ice crystals.

During the water cycle, what happens during precipitation?

• Water vapor turns into liquid water and falls as rain, snow, or hail.

• Water is absorbed by plant roots and released as vapor.

• Water flows over the surface of the ground into bodies of water.

• Water changes from liquid to vapor and rises into the atmosphere.

What role do plants play in the water cycle?

• They absorb water from the soil and release it as vapor through transpiration.

• They store water in their leaves and stems permanently.

• They convert water into oxygen through photosynthesis.

• They prevent water from evaporating by covering the soil.
