Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 8mins
How does energy move through the water cycle?
Changes state so energy can move through the water cycle
Energy doesn't move
The only change in energy is evaporation
Energy changes remain unchanged in the water cycle
In which sphere would you find oxygen, nitrogen, ozone and other layers?
Biosphere
Atmosphere
Cryosphere
geosphere
What provides the energy that drives the water cycle
Running water
the Sun
the Moon
the oceans
The process of dry air moving over snow caps turning ice crystals to water vapor is known as
Transpiration
Evaporation
Condensation
Sublimation
What is water vapor
Gaseous Carbon Dioxide
Gaseous Nitrogen
Gaseous Oxygen
Gaseous Argon
In which layer of the atmosphere does all weather occur?
Stratosphere
Exosphere
Troposphere
Thermosphere
What are the phase changes to for oceans to form glaciers;
glaciers to form fresh water; fresh water to become water vapor?
freezing; melting; evaporation
freezing; melting; sublimation
melting; freezing; evaporation
condensation; melting; evaporation
What force causes water to move downhill?
Infiltration
Run-off
Gravity
the Sun
Run off is __________, while infiltration is __________.
Runoff is water moving uphill and infiltration is moving downhill
Runoff is water moving downhill and infiltration is water seeping into the crust
Both processes are the same
Runoff is the only process that occurs with water on the earth's surface
What phase change must occur for water vapor in the air to form clouds?
Precipitation
Evaporation
Deposition
Condensation
What phase change occurs where plants give off water as water vapor?
Sublimation
Transpiration
Condensation
Infiltration
What has to happen with thermal energy for evaporation to occur?
There is no change in energy
Thermal energy must increase
Thermal energy must decrease
Thermal energy is not involved in the change
When water moves from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere, what phase change occurs?
Sublimation
Deposition
Condensation
Evaporation
What are the 3 main steps of the water cycle?
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation
Sublimation, Condensation, Precipitation
Condensation. Evaporation, Sublimation
Evaporation, Sublimation. Precipitation
The water cycle would not occur if _____ was missing.
the Moon
the Sun
the plants
the animals
