The Water Cycle Quiz

• Water that is located below the earth’s surface. Over time water from rain and rivers migrates through the ground and is stored in porous soils and rocks.– A – Precipitation– B – Collection– C – Evaporation– D – Groundwater

Question 1

• Any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity. The main forms are: drizzle, rain, sleet, snow and hail.– A – Precipitation– B – Collection– C – Evaporation– D – Groundwater

Question 2

• The process whereby water changes from its gaseous form (water vapour) into liquid water. Generally occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and looses its capacity to hold water vapour. As a result, excess water vapour forms cloud droplets.– A – Precipitation– B – Collection– C – Evaporation– D – Condensation

Question 3

Question 4

• The process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil.– A – Infiltration– B – Collection– C – Evaporation– D – Groundwater

Question 5

• The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to water vapour and is released to the atmosphere.– A – Infiltration– B – Transpiration– C – Evaporation– D – Groundwater

Question 6

• The process by which water is converted from a liquid to a gas and thereby moves from land and surface water into the atmosphere.– A – Infiltration– B – Transpiration– C – Evaporation– D – Groundwater

Question 7

• Water from rain, snow melt or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle.– A – Infiltration– B – Transpiration– C – Evaporation– D – Surface runoff
