  • What is another name for the water cycle?
    Hydrologic Cycle
  • Explain transpiration in your own words.
    Transpiration is when plants take up water from the soil and release water vapor into the air through their leaves.
  • What part of the water cycle is shown in this image?
    Collection
  • Name three of the places where water can be collected.
    Teacher Check: lakes, rivers, streams, glaciers, ocean, groundwater
  • What part of the water cycle is shown in this image?
    Precipitation
  • Explain evaporation in your own words.
    Evaporation is when water absorbs heat energy and changes into water vapor.
  • What are the arrows showing in this image?
    Teacher check: evaporation, precipitation, collection, condensation
  • What part does gravity play in the water cycle?
    The force of gravity helps drive the motion and cycling of water through the water cycle. Gravity pulls condensation towards the Earth.
  • Where is most of the water on Earth located?
    The oceans
  • What part does the sun play in the water cycle?
    The sun provides the heat energy that drives the water cycle.
  • What part of the water cycle is shown in this image?
    Evaporation
  • What part of the water cycle is shown in this image?
    Transpiration
  • Explain precipitation in your own words.
    Precipitation is when dense water droplets fall from the clouds due to gravity.
  • Explain condensation in your own words.
    Condensation is when water vapor droplets collect and form clouds because of increased density.
  • Name three things that drive the motion and cycling of water through the water cycle.
    1. The suns energy 2. The force of gravity 3. Density
  • What part of the water cycle is shown in this image?
    Condensation
  • What part of the water cycle is shown in this image?
    Melting
  • What part of the water cycle is shown in this image?
    Respiration
  • Explain collection in your own words.
    Collection is when water from the clouds collects in different locations on earth.
