Water Cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When the Sun interacts with the ocean in the water cycle? | it will rain more often near the coast & water vapor will form clouds |
| Interactions that occur between the ocean and the atmosphere that help create clouds? | energy from the Sun is causing water from the ocean to evaporate |
| If sunlight decreased, the amount of water on the surface of the Earth would | increase because there would be less evaporation |
| The Sun help move water from the ocean through the water cycle by causing | surface water to evaporate |
| atmosphere | layer of gases that surround the Earth |
| runoff | flowing water across the top of Earth's surface |
| condensation | vapor cooling, collecting and becoming liquid |
| precipitation | rain, hail, snow or sleet that falls to the ground |
| water vapor | water in the form of gas |
| Water can be replenished as it | cycles between the Earth and the atmosphere |
| Types of precipitation | rain, sleet, snow and hail |
| Main factors that control the water cycle | ocean, sun and atmosphere |
| Water cycle | is the movement of water on, above and through Earth |
