When water vapor in the atmosphere cools and becomes a liquid.
Condensation
Precipitation
Evaporation
Infiltration
Water in the gaseous state leaving the surface of oceans and rising into the atmosphere.
Precipitation
Condensation
Transpiration
Evaporation
Why does more evaporation occur over the oceans than over freshwater sources?
Fresh water doesn't evaporate as well as salt water.
Air over fresh water is more dense.
Greater surface area.
Oceans are in contact with more land than other water sources.
In the water cycle which two things interact the most?
Freshwater and moon.
Oceans and sun.
Freshwater and moon.
Sun and land surfaces.
The sun drives the water cycle. At what point in the water cycle is sun's energy contributed the most?
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Transpiration
What is Fog?
Precipitation at ground level.
Cloud formation at ground level.
Clouds that formed in the sky sink to ground level.
Evaporation over oceans moving inland.
Which two will produce the greatest amount of evaporation?
Direct sunlight and small surface area.
Little sunlight and large surface area.
Direct sunlight and large surface area.
Limited sunlight and small surface area.
What is the source of energy for the water cycle?
The tides.
The oceans.
The moon.
The sun.
Weather on Earth is affected by the oceans in what ways?
Water evaporates from the ocean, causing clouds to form and send rain back to Earth.
Waves in the ocean causes storms by pushing on the air above.
Salt in the ocean dries the air above, causing the air to heat up and rise.
Because water in the ocean is cooler than the air above, it keeps the air temperatures lower.
Areas with very low humidity and lots of sunshine results in....
heavy precipitation.
very slow evaporation.
rapid evaporation.
powerful thunderstorm formation.
As altitude decreases, what happens to air pressure?
Air pressure increases.
Air pressure decreases.
Air pressure stays the same.
It decreases till the stratosphere, then starts rising again.
A balloon is released at ground level and begins to rise. As it reaches higher levels of the atmosphere what happens to the size of the balloon?
It decreases.
It increases.
It stays the same.
Nothing because it will freeze.
