erosion patterns
Which event best describes evaporation?
water flows downhill after a storm
dark clouds form in the sky
rain water soaks into the ground
solar energy heats water at the ocean's surface

temperature for one day
weather
cloud coverage
climate
Jane made a model of the water cycle. She included:
Precipitation, Runoff and Collection
Does her model demonstrate the water cycle. Why or why not?
Yes because it has all the processes
No, because it is missing evaporation and condensation
Yes, because it has precipitation, runoff and collection
No, because I said so
A team of scientists recorded daily temperatures in their city and compared the measurements with data collected over several decades. What type of information are they investigating?
Weather, because they are measuring daily temperatures
Climate, because they are comparing daily temperatures over a long period of time
Weather, because they are recording changes only to their local city
Climate, because the temperatures are expected to change daily
Which image shows heat energy being absorbed into the atmosphere?
If Zander is describing the daily changes in temperature and precipitation, he is referring to an area’s_________
weather

What is the formation of a cloud from water vapor called?
condensation
evaporation
precipitation
transpiration
Which of these best describes weather?
The temperature increased 15 degrees as the clouds decreased
Wind speeds are greatest during the summer
Since 1980, yearly rainfall averages are lower than normal
Flash flooding has increased in areas over the last few decades
How does a cumulonimbus cloud form?
Heat from the sun warms the ocean, causing evaporation. The water vapor condenses and turns into a cloud
Heat from the sun causes clouds to gather and form one big could
Light from the sun shines on the ocean, causing water vapor to condense and it then evaporates to form a cloud
Light from the sun causes ocean water to reflect water vapor into the air and gather over the ocean in a cumulonimbus cloud
