Water Cycle Concepts and Processes

The video tutorial explains the water cycle, highlighting the continuous transformation of water through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. It describes how the sun heats water, causing evaporation, which leads to cloud formation through condensation. Precipitation occurs when clouds release water as rain, snow, or hail. The cycle completes as water collects in oceans and rivers, eventually returning to the sea, ready to start the cycle anew.

What are the three states in which water is found in nature?

• Solid, gaseous, and plasma

• Liquid, gaseous, and plasma

• Solid, liquid, and gaseous

• Solid, liquid, and plasma

What is the process called when water turns into vapor due to the sun's heat?

• Sublimation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

What forms when water vapor condenses in the atmosphere?

• Hail

• Snow

• Clouds

• Rain

What is the term for water falling from clouds as rain, snow, or hail?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Infiltration

Where does the water from melted snow in mountains typically go?

• Into the clouds

• Into the rivers

• Into the oceans

• Into the atmosphere

What happens to the water that infiltrates through the ground?

• It forms underground rivers

• It evaporates immediately

• It becomes part of the ocean

• It turns into clouds
