Water Distribution and Water Cycle
Question 1
1.
The water cycle is considered a renewable cycle because
water cannot be created or destroyed
, it just changes forms.
True
False
Question 2
2.
Which of the following is
NOT
a way that
water moves
from the
land
to the
atmosphere?
Evaporation
Precipitation
Sublimation
Question 3
3.
~71% of Earth's surface is
covered with water.
True
False
Question 4
4.
Only 3% of the water on Earth is
saltwater
.
True
False
Question 5
5.
Of the
freshwater
of Earth, 75% is found
underground
and 24.7% is found in
Glaciers.
True
False
Question 6
6.
Of the freshwater on Earth,
0.27% is found in rivers
and lakes and
0.003%
is found in the
atmosphere
True
False
Question 7
7.
Which of the following statements is
false?
Plants
drinking
is called root uptake.
After
drinking
, animals get rid of water by precipitating.
Question 8
8.
Which of the following statements is
false?
Infiltration occurs because of the
sun’s heat
.
The
sun’s heat
causes water to
evaporate
off of lakes and river
Question 9
9.
Which of the following statements is
false?
Precipitation comes down as rain, snow, or hail
Precipitation is how water leaks underground
Question 10
10.
Look at this diagram of the water cycle. Which
water cycle process is NOT shown
by arrows in the diagram?
Evaporation
Condensation
Infiltration
Question 11
11.
Look at this diagram of the water cycle. Which of the following
is correct?
A - Transpiration
D - Condensation
B - Evaporation
Water Conservation
Question 12
12.
The world is at risk of
running out
of clean and accessible
drinking water.
True
False
Question 13
13.
Which of the following are ways that we
can conserve water
?
Select all that apply.
Take longer showers
Collect rain water to use for watering plants
Turn off the water while brushing your teeth
Watersheds
Question 14
14.
What is
true
about a drainage basin and a watershed?
A
watershed
is the parts (roads/buildings/ hills/trees) that affect where the water travels; the
drainage basin
is the geographic (land) area that transports the water and sediments into the river
They are the same thing, interchangeable.
A
drainage basin
is the parts (roads/buildings/ hills/trees) that affect where the water travels; the
watershed
is the geographic (land) area that transports of water and sediments into the river.
Question 15
15.
What
divides
a watershed?
The divide is created by the political government in which the watershed or drainage basin is found
The divide is created by the highest points of land surrounding the watershed or drainage basin
The watershed or drainage basin divide is created by where the river flows
Question 16
16.
What
factors
interact with water to form a
watershed?
Climate
Geology of the land (hills, streams)
Man-made Geography (buildings, roads)
All of the above
Question 17
17.
What happens to
pollution
in a watershed?
It stays in the same place
It washes into to the nearest stream
None of the above
Question 18
18.
Which of the statements below is
TRUE?
Point source
pollution is pollution that is caused by
widely dispersed (found all over) sources
of pollutants.
It is
easy to identify
the source of
nonpoint source pollution
.
Point source pollution
is when the pollution is coming from a
specific location
, making it easy to identify the source.
Question 19
19.
Which of the following statements about aquatic macroinvertebrates is
FALSE?
Aquatic macroinvertebrates
can be used to determine stream quality
by counting the number of pollution tolerant and pollution intolerant species present in the stream.
Aquatic macroinvertebrates l
ive on, under, and around rocks and sediment on the bottoms of lakes
, rivers, and streams.
The presence (they are in the water) of many species that are
sensitive to pollution
in a stream indicates
poor stream health
.
Question 20
20.
What percent of precipitation
infiltrates
into the ground for each type of area?
Rural/natural area: 75% --- Urban/city area: 32%
Rural/natural area: 100% --- Urban/city area: 50%
Rural/natural area: 50% --- Urban/city area: 32%
Question 21
21.
What is true about
biotic and abiotic
parts of an ecosystem?
Biotic
parts are
living
and
abiotic
are
non-living
Biotic
includes fish, plants, insects
All of these are true
Question 22
22.
Floodplains
are defined as...
Area where
no flooding occurs
Area where flood
water is stored
Area around a waterway that
periodically floods
with too much water
Question 23
23.
Urban and
city
areas
flood more often
than
rural/natural
areas because...
Urban areas have more
permeable
areas that make water stay
stagnant (still)
Urban areas have more
impermeable
areas that make water stay
stagnant (Still)
Urban areas have more
impermeable
areas that allow water to transpire
Question 24
24.
