The Water Cycle: From Evaporation to Precipitation

The video explains the water cycle, highlighting its three main steps: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. It describes how the sun's energy drives the cycle, causing water to evaporate into vapor, which then condenses into clouds and eventually falls as precipitation, completing the cycle. The process is continuous and occurs all around us.

What is the primary force that drives the water cycle?

• The moon

• The sun

• The Earth's rotation

• The wind

Which process involves water changing from a liquid to a gas?

• Transpiration

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Condensation

What happens during condensation in the water cycle?

• Water falls as rain

• Water vapor turns into liquid

• Water is absorbed by plants

• Liquid water turns into vapor

What forms when water vapor condenses in the atmosphere?

• Rain

• Clouds

• Snow

• Hail

Which of the following is NOT a form of precipitation?

• Fog

• Sleet

• Hail

• Rain
