Understanding the Water Cycle

What is the purpose of adding blue color to the water in the experiment?

• To increase the temperature of the water

• To represent the ocean

• To make the water look more appealing

• To help the water evaporate faster

What does the small bowl placed inside the big bowl represent in the experiment?

• The atmosphere

• The land

• The ocean

• The sun

What role do the ice cubes play in the water cycle experiment?

• They are used to color the water

• They help the water evaporate

• They simulate the cold atmosphere over the clouds

• They represent the sun's heat

What is the process called when water vapor cools down to form clouds?

• Sublimation

• Precipitation

• Condensation

• Evaporation

What happens when clouds become very saturated in the water cycle?

• They disappear

• They form new clouds

• They evaporate back into the atmosphere

• They condense back into liquid and fall as rain
