What occurs during percolation?
Water evaporates.
Water vapor condenses.
Water seeps underground.
Water runs off into an ocean or lake.
What is groundwater?
The release of water from the clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
Water from precipitation that is stored in the pores of soil and rock
Water frozen in a glacier
A collection of water in lakes and oceans
What is a accumulation?
The release of water from the clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
Water from precipitation that is stored in the pores of soil and rock
Water frozen in a glacier
A collection of water in lakes and oceans
What is a water vapor?
Water in a liquid state
Water in a solid state
Water in a gas state
Water that is underground
What is precipitation?
The release of water from the clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
Water from precipitation that is stored in the pores of soil and rock
Water frozen in a glacier
A collection of water in lakes and oceans
What is a synonym for collection?
Accumulation
Precipitation
Water vapor
Evaporation
How are condensation and evaporation different?
Condensation is due to cooling while evaporation is due to heating.
Condensation occurs underground while evaporation occurs in the atmosphere.
Condensation changes liquid water to water vapor while evaporation changes water vapor to liquid water.
Condensation changes water vapor to liquid while evaporation changes liquid to water vapor.
How are rain and hail different?
Rain is a liquid form of condensation and hail is solid.
Hail can result in runoff and rain cannot.
Rain is liquid precipitation and hail is solid precipitation.
Rain is caused by evaporation and hail is not.
How are transpiration and evaporation similar?
Both processes add water vapor to the atmosphere.
Both processes occur directly after condensation.
Both processes occur during precipitation.
Both processes add ice to the atmosphere.
A potential sequence of three stages in the water cycle is shown below. runoff → ? → evaporation. What term belongs in the blank?
Precipitation
Condensation
Transpiration
Accumulation
What must happen for condensation to occur?
Heating water vapor
Heating liquid water
Cooling water vapor
Cooling liquid water
