Condensation Precipitation Evaporation Transpiration 2 / 15 What do we call water in its gas state? rain ice water vapor snow 3 / 15 What process occurs when tiny water droplets cling together in the atmosphere? accumulation evaporation condensation clouds 4 / 15 Rain and snow are two different forms of precipitation that fall on Earth's surface. Which factor is responsible for there being different forms of precipitation? Temperature Transpiration Evaporation Run-off 5 / 15 The atmosphere, the ground, and also bodies of water are all heated by the Sun's energy. How does this energy reach Earth? convection gravity radiation conduction 6 / 15 What is another name or synonym for the water cycle? Geologic cycle Carbon cycle Hydrologic cycle Geosphere 7 / 15 What is precipitation? Any form of water that falls from the sky Sweat from our bodies on hot days Warm rain but not cold snow or sleet Gas that we use in furnaces or ovens 8 / 15 What is it called when plants give off water vapor as a waste product? condensation evaporation sublimation transpiration 9 / 15 The water cycle starts at.... condensation precipitation it has not beginning or ending evaporation 10 / 15 Which of the following is NOT a way water moves from the land to the air? transpiration precipitation evaporation respiration 11 / 15 As a part of the water cycle, water from Earth's surface enters the clouds and finally falls back to the ground in the form of rain. What is the correct sequence of processes water undergoes? Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation Precipitation, Condensation, Evaporation Evaporation, Precipitation, Condensation Condensation, Evaporation, Precipitation 12 / 15 Which example is a form of precipitation? Fog Frost Dew Hail 13 / 15 What would happen if the Sun is removed from the water cycle? The water cycle would not include evaporation and transpiration but would continue with condensation. The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration. The water cycle would not include precipitation but would continue with groundwater flow. The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides energy for the formation of clouds. 14 / 15 Forms of precipitation are-........ only sleet and snow only dew and rain rain, sleet, hail, and snow only snow and rain 15 / 15 What type of precipitation will fall if the temperature is 0 degrees Celsius, but the precipitation freezes along the way to Earth's surface? sleet rain hail snow Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
