Water Cycle

What is transpiration?

• The process by which plants absorb water from the soil.

• The process by which plants release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

• The process of photosynthesis in plants.

• The process of nutrient absorption in plants.

Does the water cycle have a beginning or an end?

• Yes, the water cycle has a definite beginning and end.

• No, the water cycle has no beginning and no end; it is a continuous process.

• The water cycle begins with evaporation and ends with precipitation.

• The water cycle is a seasonal process with a start and finish.

What is evaporation?

• The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas due to heat from the sun.

• The process of water freezing into ice due to cold temperatures.

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

• The process of water being converted into electricity.

What are clouds made of?

• Tiny water droplets or ice crystals that form when water vapor condenses in the atmosphere.

• Solid particles of dust and dirt suspended in the air.

• Gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen that accumulate in the atmosphere.

• Liquid water that evaporates from the surface of the Earth.

What is precipitation?

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

• A type of cloud formation that indicates a storm is coming.

• The process of water evaporating from the Earth's surface into the atmosphere.

• A measurement of the amount of water in the atmosphere.

Is precipitation only rain?

• Yes, precipitation is only rain.

• No, precipitation includes all forms of water that fall to the Earth, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

• Precipitation is only snow and sleet.

• Precipitation is only hail.

What is the difference between evaporation and transpiration?

• Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor from surfaces like lakes and rivers, while transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants.

• Evaporation occurs only in the ocean, while transpiration occurs in the soil.

• Evaporation is the process of plants absorbing water, while transpiration is the process of water turning into vapor.

• Evaporation and transpiration are the same processes that occur in different environments.

What is the water cycle?

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

• The water cycle is a method of purifying water through filtration and chemical treatment.

• The water cycle refers to the process of water being stored in underground reservoirs.

• The water cycle is the process of water being used in industrial manufacturing only.

What role do plants play in the water cycle?

• Plants absorb water from the soil and store it in their roots.

• Plants contribute to the water cycle through transpiration, releasing water vapor into the atmosphere.

• Plants prevent evaporation by covering the soil with leaves.

• Plants filter pollutants from the water before it enters the cycle.

What is condensation?

• The process of water vapor cooling and changing back into liquid water, forming clouds.

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

• The process of ice melting into water when heated.

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