A water droplet just fell to the ground as snow. What might happen next and why?
Nothing will happen because the water droplet reached the end of the water cycle.
The water droplet will eventually evaporate because that’s the next step in the water cycle.
The water droplet will turn into rain because it is precipitation.
The water droplet will begin to condense and form a new cloud.
Water vapor becoming water droplets that form clouds directly involves which process?
condensation
precipitation
evaporation
transpiration
The picture shows a glass of iced tea. There are water droplets on the outside of the glass. Where did the drops come from?
It leaked through the glass.
It was sweat from a person.
The glass was tipped over by someone.
It condensed from the air in the room.
When water freezes, it changes from a (a) to a solid.
Ice is water in its _________________ state.
solid
liquid
gas
changing
You are planning an investigation to show water changing from a solid to a liquid. Which of the following experiments would show this?
Put a cup of water in the freezer.
Put a cup of water in the microwave.
Put a cup of ice in the sunlight.
Put a cup of ice in a cooler.
What provides heat energy to the water cycle?
heat from deep inside the Earth
warm current in the ocean
the wind
the sun
A student is creating a visual to show the water cycle. Which of the following labels would the student need to use to correctly complete the model?
Label A shows precipitation because the water is running off from the stream to the water.
Label B should condensation because water moves from a river to a larger body of water.
Label A shows precipitation because the water is falling from the heavy clouds.
Label B should condensation because water is formed at ground level.
When water freezes, it _______________ heat or energy.
loses
absorbs
creates
condenses
A rainstorm is an example of (a) .
A cook heats water on the stove until it reaches the temperature at which it boils. The water changes from ----.
a solid into a liquid
a liquid into a gas
a gas into a liquid
a solid into a gas
The water cycle has . . .
No beginning and no end
Only a beginning
A beginning and an end
Only an end
The Glaciers are melting most likely because Earth’s temperatures are rising. A student wanted to show how heat affects ice. What temperature does it need to be so that the ice doesn’t melt?
114 ℉
214 ℉
30 ℉
55 ℉
Jasmine filled two cups with equal amounts of water. She put a lid on Cup A and left Cup B without a lid. She then placed them outside on her deck on a warm spring day. She wanted to see what would happen to the water in each cup after several days.
The amount of water in Cup A will decrease. The amount of water in Cup B will increase. In the water cycle, water condenses to fill up lakes and rivers.
The amount of water in both Cup A and Cup B will remain the same. In the water cycle, water evaporates into the air but condenses to form rain and falls back to the earth.
The amount of water in Cup A will remain the same. The amount of water in Cup B will decrease. The water in Cup B may be completely gone. In the water cycle, water evaporates into the air.
The amount of water in Cup A will remain the same. The amount of water in Cup B will increase. The water in Cup B may be completely full. In the water cycle, water evaporates into the air.
Which change occurs when evaporation takes place?
Water changes from a liquid to a gas.
Water changes from a solid to a gas.
Water changes from a liquid to a solid.
Water changes from a gas to a solid.
What happens during condensation?
Water vapor turns into liquid
Water vapor turns into ice
Liquid water turns into water vapor
Ice turns into water vapor
Look at the water cycle diagram below. What does Number 2 show?
condensation
evaporation
collection
precipitation
Which is an example of condensation?
Steam rising up from a pot of boiling water
Ice cream dripping on the ground
Your glasses fogging up when you step outside
A snowman disappearing after a day in the sun
A student draws a model to represent the precesses involved in the water cycle, as shown. To which process is the formation of clouds related?
Condensation
Evaporation
Freezing
Melting
What is the role of the sun in the water cycle?
provide heat energy for evaporation
provide heat energy for condensation
dry out the soil for runoff to occur
provide thermal energy for accumulation
Precipitation means...
water vapor cooling to form clouds
water running downhill
water falling from the sky
water heating up and rising as gas
Water in its gas form is called ____________________,
water vapor
precipitation
ice
air
Which of the following is an example of precipitation?
sleet
hail
snow
all of the above
Students are boiling water to show how temperature affects water. Which of the following temperatures will students observe steam evaporating from the water?
114 ℉
214 ℉
30 ℉
55 ℉
