the 3 biological forms of water
the formation of clouds when water melts
the movement of water on, above, or below the surface of the Earth
the movement of water on, above, or below the surface of the Earth and across the universe
- 2. Multiple Choice
Which of the following is the energy source for the water cycle?
the water
the earth
the rain
the sun
- 3. Multiple Choice
Which of the following refers to the process in the water cycle when plants give off drops of water?
evaporation
condensation
transpiration
precipitation
- 4. Multiple Choice
Which of the following refers to the process in the water cycle where water vapor transforms back into liquid water by cooling?
condensation
transpiration
evaporation
runoff
- 5. Multiple Choice
Which of the following BEST describes precipitation?
The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up the water vapor in the air, turning it into a liquid and forms clouds as it rises from the ground.
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 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 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.
- 6. Multiple Choice
Which of the following refers to the collection of precipitation into rivers, lakes, and oceans?
precipitation
condensation
accumulation

- 10. Multiple Choice
Evaporation happens when the sun ___________ the water and turns it into vapor.
freezes
lights up
cools
heats up
- 11. Multiple Choice
Which of the following is NOT an example of precipitation?
rain
sleet
snow
clouds
- 12. Multiple Choice
The image is a model showing the processes of the water cycle. Water uptake to the atmosphere occurs through the processes of evaporation and transpiration from plants where it condenses to form clouds. Clouds release the water through precipitation. During a summer of extreme drought, what can we expect to happen to the surface ground water stored in ponds and lakes?
water levels will increase because there is more precipitation
water levels will decrease because there is more evaporation and transpiration
water levels will increase because there is more evaporation and transpiration
animals won't drink as much to save water, so water levels remain the same
- 13. Multiple Choice
Which of the following BEST describes evaporation?
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 the water vapor gets into the clouds and rises to the sun as it heats up and form another 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.
- 14. Multiple Choice
Which of the following BEST describes 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 sun heats up the water in the clouds and turns into water vapor and forms other 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.
