The model shows where water can be found during different stages of the water cycle. What should be added to the diagram to better explain the water cycle?
Soil to trap water from runoff
Rocks to release thermal energy
The sun to provide energy for evaporation
Plants to provide oxygen in the atmosphere
This photograph shows a beach on a partly sunny day. Which of the following is an interaction between the sun and the ocean that results in clouds forming near the beach?
Energy from the sun causes precipitation over the ocean.
Energy from the sun causes water to evaporate from the ocean.
Light from the sun reflects off the surface of the ocean.
Light from the sun decreases the amount of water vapor in the air over the ocean.
The picture shows a cumulonimbus cloud forming over an ocean. Which statement best explains how the sun and the ocean interact to form a cumulonimbus cloud?
Heat from the sun warms the ocean causing water to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses to form a cumulonimbus cloud.
Heat from the sun causes clouds in the area to gather over the ocean and form on large cumulonimbus cloud.
Light from the sun shines on the ocean, causing water vapor to condense. The water then evaporates to form a cumulonimbus cloud.
Light from the sun causes ocean water to reflect water vapor in the air and gather over the ocean into a cumulonimbus cloud.
Water in its gas form is called ____________________,
water vapor
precipitation
ice
air

"Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere."
The text describes the effect of greenhouse gases on the Earth. What effect do these gases have on the Earth?
These gases cool the surface of the Earth and help it stay at a comfortable temperature
These gases clean the surface of the Earth and lower the amount of pollution on the ground
These gases freeze the surface of the Earth and help create icebergs in different parts of the ocean
These gases warm the surface of the Earth and help it stay at a comfortable, warm average temperature
