Question 1
1.
What role does the sun play in the water cycle?
It causes evaporation of water from oceans
It cools the oceans down
It makes the ocean water salty
It stops water in the oceans from freezing
Question 2
2.
Which part of the water cycle involves water returning to the ocean?
Evaporation
Transpiration
Runoff
Condensation
Question 3
3.
What happens in the process of evaporation in the water cycle?
Water changes from gas to liquid
Water falls from the clouds as rain
Water sinks beneath the ground's surface
Water changes from liquid to gas and rises
Question 4
4.
How does the ocean contribute to the water cycle?
It provides most of the water that evaporates
It controls the direction of winds
It causes water to freeze into ice
It creates rain clouds
Question 5
5.
Match the stages of the water cycle to the action that occurs.
Cloud formation
Water vapor from oceans
Water gathers in oceans
Rainfall
Condensation
Evaporation
Collection
Precipitation
Question 6
6.
How does the sun influence the water cycle?
Sun's heat evaporates surface water
Sunlight cools at high altitude
Heat causes water to turn into vapor
Collection
Condensation
Evaporation
Question 7
7.
How do the oceans contribute to the water cycle?
Oceans are the main collection points
Most evaporation occurs from oceans
Rain primarily returns to oceans
Collection
Evaporation
Precipitation
Question 8
8.
What roles do clouds play in the water cycle?
Clouds return water vapor to atmosphere
Vapor condenses into clouds
Clouds release rain or snow
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Question 9
9.
1. How does the sun play a role in the water cycle?
It freezes ocean water.
It directly fills rivers with water
It evaporates water from oceans
It indirectly forms clouds.
Question 10
10.
2. What process turns water from the ocean into vapor?
Frozen condensation.
The sun's heat
Precipitation
Evaporation
Question 11
11.
3. How does ocean water become part of the clouds?
Through evaporation and condensation
The sun's heat causes evaporation
Through precipitation
Clouds absorb water from the ocean.
Question 12
12.
4. What leads to rain formation in the water cycle?
Sun evaporates water
Condensation of water vapor
Water vapor cool down in the sky
Wind blowing over the ocean.
Question 13
13.
The sun heats up the ocean water causing it to evaporate and become water vapor in the process of the water cycle.
True
False
Question 14
14.
In the water cycle, the sun cools down the water in the oceans, causing it to freeze into ice.
True
False
Question 15
15.
Condensation, a stage in the water cycle, occurs when water vapor in the air is cooled and changes back into liquid form.
True
False
Question 16
16.
The water from oceans never returns back to the sea or ocean in the water cycle.
True
False
Question 17
17.
What happens when water evaporates?
It becomes rain
It turns into ice
It turns into water vapor
It disappears
Question 18
18.
Why does condensation occur in the water cycle?
The sun pulls water into the sky
Rain forms
Heating turns water into vapor
Cooling turns water vapor into liquid
Question 19
19.
What takes place during precipitation in the water cycle?
Water starts to evaporate
Water falls to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
Water is absorbed by plants
Water becomes water vapor
Question 20
20.
In the water cycle, what happens after precipitation?
Water boils
The water is collected in bodies of water
The water freezes into ice
Water turns into water vapor
