RAces Water Cycle

What is the process called when water changes into a gas due to the sun's heat?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Sublimation

What forms when water vapor cools down and turns into tiny water drops?

• Clouds

• Rain

• Snow

• Fog

Where does the rainwater go after it falls to the ground?

• Into the ground or flows into rivers and oceans

• It stays on the surface

• It evaporates immediately

• It disappears

What is the first step in the rain cycle?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Infiltration

What role does the sun play in the rain cycle?

• It heats up water, causing evaporation

• It cools down water vapor

• It forms clouds

• It causes precipitation

What happens to water vapor when it rises into the sky?

• It cools down and turns into tiny water drops

• It heats up further

• It disappears

• It turns into ice

What is condensation? Restate and answer the question. What is the best answer:

• Condensation is when the sun heats up water and it turns into vapor.

• These drops come together to form clouds, a step called condensation.

• Condensation is when water vapor cools down and turns into tiny drops to make clouds.

• Condensation is when rainwater flows into rivers and oceans.

Why is "Condensation is when water vapor cools down and turns into tiny drops to make clouds" the best answer?

Which statement about using the quote "These drops come together to form clouds, a step called condensation," to restate and answer the question is true?

• It is a good answer. It comes directly from the text.

• It is not a good answer. It comes directly from the test.

What is vapor? Restate and answer the question. What is the best answer?

• The water vapor floats up into the sky, where it cools down and turns into tiny water drops.

• Vapor is when water turns into gas after it gets heated.

• Vapor is the sound rain makes when it hits the ground.

• Vapor is when rainwater runs into lakes and rivers.
