Students placed ice in a tin can with a thermometer and noticed water droplets forming on the outside. The temp read 62°F. What conclusion can they draw about the humidity that day?

• Condensation means the air was humid and rain is likely

• Ice leaked through the can

• Precipitation already started

• The can was colder than the air

Which model best shows how gravity moves water through Earth's systems?

• A model where water flows from mountain to ocean

• A model of water evaporating from the ocean

• A model showing warm ocean water rising

• A model of rain forming in clouds

Drag the steps into the correct order for how water droplets form inside a water cycle model with ice on the top and warm water inside.

• Water vapor evaporates and risis

• Water droplets form and fall back into the container

• Water vapor touches the cold surface and condenses

• Heat warms the water in the container

A cold air mass is moving toward a warm, moist air mass. What weather is most likely at the boundary where they meet?

• A pleasant, breezy day

• Clear skies and low humidity

• Storms and heavy precipitation

• Rising temperatures and no clouds

Maria lives by a large lake. Sanjay lives in a dry desert. Who is more likely to get more rainfall and why?

• Maria, because surface water adds moisture to the air

• Sanjay, because dry air heats faster

• Maria, because deserts get cold at night

• Sanjay, because deserts are windy

Two storms had the same water vapor and wind. Storm A started at 12°C, Storm B at 29°C. Which had more rain and why?

• A, because it had more time to cool

• B, because warm air rises higher and cools more

• A, because it had more energy stored

Ian left his hot chocolate on the counter. Eventually, it cooled to room temp. Why?

• Heat transferred from the drink to the room air

• It evaporated completely

• The air heated the drink

• Chocolate cooled by radiation

A student claims that gravity helps drive the water cycle. Use evidence from Earth’s systems to support or refute the claim.

• Gravity helps drive the water cycle by causing precipitation to fall and rivers to flow.

• Gravity has no effect on the water cycle.

• Gravity only affects the water cycle during evaporation.

• Gravity is irrelevant to the water cycle.

Why does the west side of a mountain range get more rain than the east?

• Moist air rises and cools on the windward side

• Air masses dry out crossing flat land

• Rain shadow forms on the leeward side

• Ocean currents pull water over the mountains

A brass ball is heated and no longer fits through a ring. What caused this? (Select 2)

• Particles gained energy and moved faster

• Particles lost energy and moved slower

• Particles became larger in size

• Particles became smaller in size
