During the process of __________, a liquid turns into a crystalline solid.
Condensation
Evaporation
How does transpiration contribute to the water cycle?
It increases the amount of water in the soil.
It decreases the amount of water in the atmosphere.
It releases water vapor into the atmosphere from plants.
It converts water vapor directly into ice crystals.
What is the primary source of energy that drives the water cycle?
Wind
The Moon
The Sun
Geothermal heat
What role does temperature play in the evaporation process?
Higher temperatures decrease evaporation rates.
Temperature has no effect on evaporation.
Lower temperatures increase evaporation rates.
Higher temperatures increase evaporation rates.
Describe how condensation contributes to cloud formation.
Condensation freezes water vapor, forming ice clouds.
Condensation turns water vapor into liquid droplets, which accumulate to form clouds.
Condensation causes water vapor to dissipate, clearing the sky.
Condensation heats up water vapor, causing it to rise and disperse.
What is the process called when water vapor cools and changes back into liquid droplets?
Condensation
Evaporation
Precipitation
Sublimation
