Describe the water cycle, tracing water through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, and transpiration in plants, explaining how the sun drives the cycle
A first look
This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.
Question 1 of 3
Which statement correctly describes the movement of water through Earth’s systems as driven by the sun’s energy and the force of gravity?
Question 2 of 3
A simple water‑cycle diagram numbers five spots where water changes form or moves: 1️⃣ Water on a lake turns into invisible vapor and rises. 2️⃣ The vapor cools and becomes a cloud. 3️⃣ Water falls from the cloud as rain. 4️⃣ Rain runs over the ground and returns to the lake. 5️⃣ Water leaves a tree’s leaves and goes into the air. Which list correctly labels each numbered spot with the right scientific term? A) 1‑Evaporation, 2‑Condensation, 3‑Precipitation, 4‑Runoff, 5‑Transpiration B) 1‑Condensation, 2‑Evaporation, 3‑Runoff, 4‑Precipitation, 5‑Transpiration C) 1‑Transpiration, 2‑Condensation, 3‑Evaporation, 4‑Precipitation, 5‑Runoff D) 1‑Evaporation, 2‑Precipitation, 3‑Condensation, 4‑Transpiration, 5‑Runoff
Question 3 of 3
Which of the following correctly pairs each water‑cycle process with the primary natural force that drives it?
