Earth’s water is all connected

What is the primary driver of the water cycle on Earth?

• The sun's heat

• Wind currents

• Ocean tides

• Volcanic activity

Which process in the water cycle involves water moving through plants and being released as vapor?

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Precipitation

What happens during condensation in the water cycle?

• Water turns into vapor

• Water vapor cools and forms droplets

• Ice sublimates into vapor

• Water infiltrates the soil

What is sublimation in the context of the water cycle?

• Liquid water turning into vapor

• Ice evaporating directly into vapor

• Water vapor condensing into droplets

• Water soaking into the soil

Which process accounts for about 10 percent of the water vapor in the atmosphere?

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Precipitation

What role do humans play in the water cycle according to the passage?

• They can change evaporation and transpiration rates

• They can stop precipitation

• They can increase sublimation

• They can eliminate condensation

What happens to precipitation that does not reach the ground?

• It evaporates or is transported back up

• It turns into groundwater

• It condenses into clouds

• It sublimates into vapor
