Look at the pie chart above to choose the correct labeling.

A = amount of land and B = amount of water

A = amount of water and B = amount of land

Look at the pie chart above to choose the correct labeling.

A = amount of saltwater and B = amount of  fresh water

A = amount of fresh water and B = amount of saltwater

Put these freshwater locations in order from LARGEST to SMALLEST.

Lakes, Rivers, Streams

Frozen: Glaciers, polar icecaps, icebergs, snow

Underground: Groundwater in Aquifers

Atmoshperic: Clouds, Humidity

Match the steps of the hydrologic cycle to their definition

Evaporation

Gravity draws water back to Earth as rain, sleet, or snow

Infiltration

Solar radiation changing water from a liquid to a gas

Condensation

Water that is lost through the leaves of plants

Sublimation

Water flowing from the surface of the Earth toward bodies of water

Transpiration

Water percolating (filtering through) from the surface through the soil to aquifers

Runoff

Water vapor turning back into liquid water

Precipitation

ice going directly to water vapor

What step of the water cycle is represented by the part of the diagram circled in red showing water moving from the surface to a body of water? 

Condensation

Transpiration

Runoff

Precipitation

 

When water vapor collects and create clouds what is it called?

Precipitation 

Condensation

Transpiration

Run off

Infiltration 

What step of the water cycle is represented by the part of the diagram circled in red where water is being filtered as it passes through the soil? (precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, runoff, condensation, infiltration)

infiltration
