What is the process called when water vapor turns to liquid water?
evaporation
condensation
precipitation
transpiration
During evaporation, water changes from a _________ to a __________.
solid, liquid
gas, liquid
liquid, gas
liquid, solid
Precipitation which falls from the sky may run-off, then become stored in streams, ponds, rivers, lakes, or oceans. This is called...
collection
runoff
ground water
transpiration
Evaporation occurs when the sun heats up water in rivers, lakes, or the ocean, and turns it into...

sleet
The red arrow is pointing to the water drops that have collected on the plastic wrap, what do the water drops represent?
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Infiltration
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
Water will evaporate at a slower rate on cooler days and faster on warmer days.
What would happen if the Sun is removed from the water cycle?
The water cycle would not include precipitation but would continue with groundwater flow.
The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration.
The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides energy for the formation of clouds.
The water cycle would not include evaporation and transpiration but would continue with condensation.
The movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat. ____________________

How could we cause water vapor to change into tiny water droplets? (2 answers)
Increase thermal energy
Decrease thermal energy
evaporation
condensation
Which statement is false concerning the water cycle?
Eventually enough water will evaporate and the Earth will loose great amounts of water.
Water on Earth and in the atmosphere moves in a cycle.
Water changes states when we increase or decrease thermal energy.
Due to pollution, we can decrease the amount of drinkable freshwater.
Which 2 statements are true concerning the water cycle?
The water cycle circulates faster in the poles than around the equator.
Although water moves in a cycle we can still loose significant amounts due to infiltration.
When water infiltrates the soil it joins the underground water system.
Because water moves in a cycle, it is renewable.
