Total questions: 22
Worksheet time: 14mins
How does the sun affect the winds on the Earth?
It causes evaporation of water
It changes the air temperature
It provides food for green plants
It warms the magma inside the earth
Where does water in a lake get most of its energy to evaporate?
The sun heating the lake
Green plants living in the lake
Streams entering the lake
Cold springs under the lake
What process involves water vapor forming droplets that form clouds?
Condensation
Respiration
Transpiration
Evaporation
In the water cycle, water is returned to the surface of the Earth through –
evaporation
deposition
precipitation
condensation
As water moves through the water cycle, it may become –
A solid
A liquid
A gas
All of the above
What do we call the process that changes water vapor to liquid water?
Condensation
Evaporation
Accumulation
Precipitation
Water vapor exists in the atmosphere as—
a visible gas
a visible liquid
an invisible gas
an invisible liquid
The amount of heat energy in the Earth’s atmosphere is referred to as—
Humidity
Temperature
Altitude
Air pressure
When water vapor changes into liquid water, the process is called—
Precipitation
Accumulation
Condensation
Evaporation
The water cycle is a continuous process that takes place over and over. The water we use today is the same water that has been on the Earth since the beginning of the Earth itself. Plants, human beings, animals and changes in the environment are constantly putting the water back into the water cycle. What might happen if the cycle were broken and used water could not return to the water cycle?
The Earth would flood all the time.
The Earth would get colder and colder
All life would end due to the lack of water
The water cycle would continue as it is
What part of the water cycle would be most affected by an increase in surface air temperature?
Accumulation
Precipitation
Evaporation
Condensation
The water cycle is —
an example of how carbon is cycled from dead animals to fossil fuels
a symbol used on a weather map to show the location of tropical storms
the continuous cycle of movement of water between the air and the ground
the cycle of water breaking down igneous rocks to form sedimentary rocks
During most of the year, the air over Houston, Texas, contains a high amount of moisture called humidity. Which of the following BEST explains why there is a high amount of moisture in the air?
Houston is close to the Gulf of Mexico
Houston is at a low elevation
Houston is near many mountains
Houston is not too far from the equator
Which of the following is NOT an example of condensation?
Frost on a window
Fog forming at night
Dew on the grass in the morning
Puddles forming on the sidewalk when it rains
Which of the following allows water to move from Earth’s surface back into the air?
Gravity
Weathering
Condensation
Evaporation
The energy that causes seawater to form water vapor comes from —
the clouds
underwater mountains
chemical reactions in the sea
the sun
On a warm day water was accidentally spilled onto a metal tabletop. Later in the day, the water was gone. The most likely explanation is that someone wiped the water up or that —
germs drank the water
the table absorbed the water
all the water spilled onto the floor
the water evaporated into the air
Which of these supplies the energy that drives the water cycle?
The sun
The planets
The oceans
The moon
What forms of energy are provided by our sun?
Solar, light, heat, geothermal
Solar, light, electrical
Solar, heat, geothermal
Solar, light, heat
Which of the following would best model how the sun’s energy warms the Earth?
A hair dryer blowing warm air
A pan of hot milk on the stove
A terrarium light keeping plants warm
A tea cup conducting heat from the hot tea inside it
As water moves through the water cycle, it may become –
A solid
A liquid
A gas
All of the above
In which location on the diagram is water changing from a liquid to a gas?
A
B
C
D
