Precipitation occurs because

the droplets evaporate in the air

the droplets are too light for the air to hold

the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

condensation

precipitation

evaporation

This is a picture of what?

Permeable rock

Impermeable rock

spring

Artesian Well

Which stage does the #3 show in the diagram?

condensation

evapotranspiration

precipitation

run off

The ___________________ the grain size, the faster the water will move through the soil.

more mixed

smaller

larger

When water turns into a gas

condensation

evaporation

precipitation

Groundwater feeds the river systems. Groundwater and surface water are connected, not separate. Consequently, water wells may remove or intercept groundwater that was on its way to springs that feed streams and rivers. What can happen to water level if too many wells are placed together?

they may cause the water table to rise

they may draw down the water table

the rivers will all run dry

rainwater will stop falling

How does groundwater occur?

It doesn't occur

Rain seeps into the ground until it is completely saturated

it just happens at random

When water runs off the surface due to maximum saturation

Impermeable materials...

have an abundance of pores.

let water in.

have little to no pores.

10.

What is a drawback to the extensive use of irrigation?

crops don't receive sufficient water

flooding increases

groundwater levels decrease

pollution increases

11.

Which stage does the #2 show in the diagram?

condensation

evaporation

precipitation

run off

12.

What variable is the same between all three containers?

Porosity

Permeability

Capillarity

Infiltration Rate

13.

As permeability increases

Infiltration decreases and runoff decreases

Infiltration increases and runoff decreases

Infiltration decreases and runoff increases

Infiltration increases and runoff increases

14.

__________________ is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. It is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves.

Transpiration

Percolation

Infiltration

Plant Uptake

15.

This is the source of energy that heats up the water to start the water cycle.

Sun

moon

Mars

16.

What is condensation?

The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.

The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

17.

Water droplets forming on the outside of your glass

Evaporation

Condenstation

Precipitation

18.

Water flows through permeable materials ____________________ than impermeable materials.

slower

faster
