Schrift-wk 4.5 water cycle
Question | Answer |
---|---|
The process in which liquid water changes to water vapor | isevaperation |
The process in which water vapor turns to liquid water | is condensation |
Water that falls to the Earth's surface in the form of rain, sleet, hail, or snow | is precipitation |
Pecipitation that soaks into the ground | is ground water |
Precipitation or melted snow that does not soak into the ground | is runoff |
What drives the water cycle? | The solar energy |
Heat from the sun hit Earth's surface and causes | evaperation of water |
As water vapor rises it | cools and condenses |
When water vapor in clouds cools and collects into droplets they | fall to the ground as precipitation |
Water is replenished or recycled through | the water cycle |
The next step after collection of runoff | is evaporation |
The next step after evaporation | is condensation |
The next step after condensation | is precipitation |
The next step after precipitation | is runoff and collection |
A cycle has | no start or end |
