Which of the following statements is not true about the water cycle?
It shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere.
The water cycle only occurs during the day.
The heat from the Sun causes water from surface water sources to evaporate to become water vapor.
The water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into clouds and eventually falls as rain or snow.
The diagram shows the water cycle.

What role do aerosols play in the formation of clouds?
They help the evaporation rate of water to increase.
They provide surfaces for condensation of water vapor into water droplets.
They help in the process of transporting water from the atmosphere back to the Earth's surface.
They help the water vapor in the air changes into snow without going through the liquid state.

. One early morning, Jenny walked around a park and observed some water droplets on the leaves. However, it did not rain last night. How did the water droplets form?
The moisture that falls from the sky.
The water is released from the plant through evaporation at the leaf surface.
The leaves develop water droplets on their tips.
The night was cool enough for the water vapor in the air to condense into water droplets.
What are the impacts of heavy snow?
Roof damage, avalanches and slippery roads
Roof damage, avalanches and reduced visibility
Avalanches, slippery roads and reduced visibility
Roof damage, avalanches, slippery roads and reduced visibility
