Water Cycle

What is the importance of the ocean in the water cycle?

• The ocean is a major source of water for evaporation, playing a crucial role in the water cycle and climate regulation.

• The ocean serves primarily as a habitat for marine life, with little impact on the water cycle.

• The ocean is mainly a barrier to prevent water evaporation from the land.

• The ocean's primary role is to store carbon dioxide, not to contribute to the water cycle.

What is condensation?

• The process where water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds.

• The process of water evaporating into vapor due to heat.

• The process of ice melting into water due to temperature increase.

• The process of water being absorbed by soil and plants.

What is transpiration?

• The process by which plants absorb water and release it as vapor into the atmosphere.

• The process of photosynthesis in plants.

• The method by which plants store nutrients in their roots.

• The way plants reproduce through seeds.

What is precipitation?

• A form of water that evaporates from the Earth's surface.

• Any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface.

• A type of cloud formation in the atmosphere.

• The process of water being absorbed by the soil.

What is the difference between evaporation and condensation?

• Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor, while condensation is the process of vapor turning back into liquid water.

• Evaporation is the process of liquid water turning into ice, while condensation is the process of ice turning back into liquid water.

• Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor, while condensation is the process of vapor turning into gas.

• Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor, while condensation is the process of vapor turning into steam.

What is the role of clouds in the water cycle?

• Clouds are formed during evaporation and are not involved in precipitation.

• Clouds form during condensation and are essential for transporting water vapor and eventually releasing precipitation.

• Clouds only block sunlight and do not play a role in the water cycle.

• Clouds are formed from dust particles and have no impact on water vapor.

What happens during evaporation?

• Evaporation is the process where water is heated and turns into water vapor, rising into the atmosphere.

• Evaporation is the process where water freezes and turns into ice.

• Evaporation is the process where water is cooled and turns into liquid.

• Evaporation is the process where water is mixed with other substances to form a solution.

What role does the sun play in the water cycle?

• The sun provides energy that heats the ocean, causing water to evaporate and drive the water cycle.

• The sun cools the water, preventing evaporation and maintaining the water cycle.

• The sun creates clouds that block evaporation from occurring.

• The sun has no significant role in the water cycle.

How does temperature affect evaporation?

• Higher temperatures decrease the rate of evaporation because fewer water molecules have enough energy to escape into the air.

• Higher temperatures increase the rate of evaporation because more water molecules have enough energy to escape into the air.

• Temperature has no effect on the rate of evaporation.

• Lower temperatures increase the rate of evaporation because more water molecules have enough energy to escape into the air.

What is the water cycle?

• The process by which water moves from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back, involving evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

• A method of purifying water using chemical reactions.

• The cycle of water used in irrigation systems for agriculture.

• A phenomenon that occurs only in tropical regions.
