The runoff of water to a nearby stream
The decrease of water in a lake
The percolation of water into an aquifer
Question 9
9.
Forms of precipitation include—
hail and rain only.
sleet, snow, rain, and hail.
snow, sleet, and hail only.
rain and snow only.
Question 10
10.
A potential sequence of three stages in the water cycle is shown below.
runoff →
Z
→ evaporation
Which process is best represented by Stage
Z
?
A decrease of water vapor
The accumulation of water in the ocean
The formation of a cloud
The release of water vapor from a tree
Question 11
11.
Which of the following statements about groundwater is
NOT
true?
Groundwater can slowly move to an ocean, lake, or river.
Once water enters an aquifer, it can never escape.
Aquifers store groundwater beneath Earth’s surface.
Water in an aquifer can be polluted.
Question 12
12.
The diagram below shows the Sun, two clouds, and a lake surrounded by land and trees. What process in the water cycle is represented by the arrow?
Condensation
Percolation
Transpiration
Evaporation
Question 13
13.
A diagram of stages in the water cycle is shown below.
Which of the following best describes the process represented by Letter J?
Water vapor changes into liquid water
Liquid water falls from clouds
Liquid water becomes water vapor
Frozen water melts into liquid water
Question 14
14.
A diagram of the location of water during the water cycle is shown below.
Which arrow best represents the process of condensation?
Arrow A
Arrow B
Arrow C
Arrow D
Question 15
15.
Which process in the water cycle is most similar to the process by which water droplets form on the side of a cold glass of water?
The formation of a cloud
The evaporation of ocean water
The falling of snow
The percolation of water into the soil
Question 16
16.
A potential sequence of three stages in the water cycle is shown below.
Which process is best represented by Stage M?
Evaporation
Condensation
Transpiration
Percolation
Question 17
17.
A Cause and Effect diagram is shown below.
Which statement best completes the diagram?
Cooler temperatures change water vapor into liquid water.
The temperature of the water near the ocean’s surface increases.
Solar energy decreases the temperature of water in the ocean.
The Sun decreases the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Question 18
18.
What causes water in the ocean to evaporate?
The melting of ice
The release of precipitation from the clouds
The water’s absorption of solar energy
Decreased condensation
Question 19
19.
How do the Sun and ocean interact to form clouds?
Energy from the Sun causes water in the ocean to evaporate. Cooler air causes the water vapor to condense to form a cloud.
The absorption of sunlight by ocean water near the surface forms a cloud.
Heat from the Sun attracts clouds that move toward the ocean.
Energy from the Sun causes water to become water vapor. The water vapor becomes a cloud during precipitation.
Question 20
20.
A diagram of the location of water during the water cycle is shown below.
Which arrow best represents the process for which the Sun is the major source of energy?
Arrow D
Arrow C
Arrow B
Arrow A
