5th science Unit 3 Review

What is the process called when it rains, snows, sleets, or hails?

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Condensation

What is the process called when the liquid water is heated up enough to be turned into a gas?

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Condensation

What is the process called when the steam/water vapor is condensed back into liquid water?

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Condensation

What eventually pulls the liquid water back down to Earth from the clouds?

• Magic

• New water just falls from the sky

• The weight of the water due to gravity pulling it towards Earth's core.

What do you need to create a cloud?

• Steam & Water

• Steam, water, and a hot temperature

• Gases, steam/water vapor, dirt/pollen particles, and a cold atmosphere

• Steam & hot atmosphere

What happens to the steam/water vapor when it hits the cold atmosphere in the sky?

• The steam gets hotter

• The steam turns back into a liquid water during condensation

• It immediately falls back to the lakes, ponds, river, and oceans.

What ways can you save water?

• Using low-faucet aerators

• Taking long showers

• Wasting water when washing dishes

• Letting the faucet run while brushing your teeth

What does a desalination plant do to saltwater?

• Makes it more salty

• Provides more freshwater, by removing the salt through evaporation

• There is nothing it does to the saltwater

• Produces a lot of saltwater

What creates a rain shadow?

• A mountain's change in elevation makes the desert unable to get precipitation

• There is no rain

• The sun makes the rain create a shadow on the ground

• The mountain soaks up all the precipitation

Where does the salt in saltwater come from?

• The rain

• The rocks on land, underwater volcanoes, and hydrothermal vents

• People dumping salt into the oceans

• The animals/biosphere
