Water Cycle Concepts and Processes

The video explains the water cycle, a continuous process where water evaporates from oceans, forms clouds through condensation, and returns to Earth as precipitation. This cycle repeats endlessly, with water changing states between liquid, gas, and solid.

What is the main reason the water cycle is considered a cycle?

• It is a man-made process.

• It involves only one state of water.

• It is a process that never stops.

• It happens only in the oceans.

What causes water to evaporate from the oceans?

• The moon

• The heat from the sun

• The wind

• The Earth's rotation

What is formed when water vapor rises into the atmosphere?

• Rain

• Snow

• Clouds

• Ice

What term describes the process of water vapor turning into clouds?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Sublimation

Which of the following is NOT a form of precipitation?

• Snow

• Hail

• Fog

Where does water go after it falls as precipitation?

• It flows into lakes and rivers.
