The Journey of Water Through Its Cycle

The video explains the water cycle, highlighting its continuous nature. It covers the stages of evaporation, where the sun heats surface water turning it into gas; condensation, where the gas cools and forms clouds; and precipitation, where clouds release rain, hail, or snow. The cycle is described as a repeating process.

What are the three main processes involved in the water cycle?

• Evaporation, condensation, precipitation

• Condensation, infiltration, runoff

• Precipitation, infiltration, runoff

• Evaporation, infiltration, runoff

Which process in the water cycle involves the sun heating the earth's surface waters?

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Condensation

• Infiltration

During evaporation, what happens to the water when it is heated by the sun?

• It turns into a solid

• It forms clouds

• It remains a liquid

• It becomes a gas

What occurs during the condensation process in the water cycle?

• Water turns into gas

• Gas cools and forms clouds

• Clouds release rain

• Water infiltrates the ground

What is the result of precipitation in the water cycle?

• Rain, hail, or snow falls

• Clouds form

• Water infiltrates the ground

• Water evaporates

Which of the following is NOT a form of precipitation?

• Hail

• Fog

• Snow

• Rain
