Which process moves water from the oceans to the atmosphere? a. b. c. d. condensation transpiration evaporation precipitation

Which phase change in the atmosphere forms clouds? a. b. c. d. evaporation freezing condensation melting

Which factor determines whether precipitation will be in the form of rain or snow? a. b. c. d. wind humidity air pressure temperature

Which of these factors causes water to evaporate the fastest? a. b. c. d. high temperatures high humidity slow winds slow runoff

Andrea is preparing a demonstration to model the water cycle for her class. She fills a watering can with water from a faucet. She pours water onto a board propped up on some books. The board is slanted and the water drains into a pan. Andrea says that the water from the can represents precipitation, the board represents runoff, and the pan represents collection. • Does Andrea’s model fully demonstrate the water cycle? Explain your answer. • How does Andrea’s model demonstrate that gravity is a force in the water cycle?

Which process of the water cycle transports water from plants to clouds? a. b. c. d. precipitation transpiration condensation sublimation

Condensation in the water cycle can best be described as the result of water vapor a. rising into the atmosphere, cooling and changing into a liquid form. b. rising into the atmosphere, warming and changing into a gaseous form. c. changing from a liquid form into a solid and forming snow. d. changing from a gas form into a solid and forming hail.
