Exploring the Water Cycle and Rain Formation

The video tutorial explains the water cycle, starting with evaporation where the sun heats water turning it into vapor. This vapor rises, cools, and condenses into droplets forming clouds. When droplets combine and grow heavy, they fall as precipitation. This cycle repeats, ensuring water availability for plants, animals, and humans. The video also summarizes the steps: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

What is the primary role of the sun in the formation of rain?

• It forms clouds directly.

• It collects water from oceans.

• It heats the water causing it to evaporate.

• It cools the water droplets.

What happens to water vapor as it rises?

• It turns into snow.

• It remains the same.

• It cools and condenses into tiny droplets.

• It condenses into droplets immediately.

What is evaporation?

• Water turning into a gas

• Water vapor turning into droplets

• Water turning into ice

• Water being absorbed by plants

What is the process called when water vapor changes into water droplets?

• Evaporation

• Collection

• Condensation

• Precipitation

How do clouds form in the water cycle?

• By evaporation of lakes

• By condensation of water vapor

• By collection of rainwater

• By precipitation

What causes raindrops to fall to the ground?

• Gravity

• Condensation

• Sunlight

• Evaporation
