During what part of the water cycle does water vapor turn into liquid droplets?
evaporation
condensation
precipitation
run off
What must happen to water vapor in order for it to turn into liquid droplets?
It must be heated.
It must be cooled.
It must remain the same temperature.
It must be pushed by wind.

The class created models of the water cycle in plastic bags. Which would represent the precipitation stage of the water cycle?
The amount of water in the cup.
The water vapor at the top of the bag.
The amount of sunlight heating the water.
The water droplets running down the side of the bag.
What would happen if less water evaporated from the oceans?
Ocean levels would increase and there would be more precipitation.
Ocean levels would decrease and there would be more precipitation.
Ocean levels would increase and there would be less precipitation.
Ocean levels would decrease and there would be less precipitation.
How are the oceans connected to other bodies of water?
Water evaporates from the oceans and enters the other bodies as precipitation.
Water evaporates from the oceans and enters the other bodies as evaporation.
Water evaporates from the oceans and enters the other bodies as condensation.
Water evaporates from the oceans and enters the other bodies as groundwater.
How does water from the ocean become different forms of precipitation?
Water evaporates; precipitation falls; the sun warms the ocean water; clouds form
Clouds are formed through condensation, the sun warms the ocean water; precipitation falls; water evaportates
Precipitation falls to the ground; clouds form;the sun evaporates water from the ocean
The sun warms the ocean; water evaporates and then condenses into clouds; precipitation falls to the ground.
