The Water Cycle

Question 1

Name the water cycle steps in order

Answer 1

Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Surface water
Through flow
Ground water
Transpiration

Question 2

What’s evaporation

Answer 2

The heat causes water vapour to rise into the atmosphere from the ocean

Question 3

What’s condensation

Answer 3

The water vapour cools and condenses into water droplets which gather together from clouds

Question 4

What’s precipitation

Answer 4

Once the water droplets become too heavy for the clouds to hold, they’re released as rain in low warm areas and snow in high cold areas

Question 5

What’s through flow

Answer 5

Some rain sinks into the soil. It’s called infiltration. The moves then to the bottom of the soil

Question 6

What’s groundwater

Answer 6

Some water moved into rocks. It’s called percolation. The water moves through the rock to the bottom of the soil as groundwater

Question 7

What’s transpiration

Answer 7

Water vapour also evaporates from the dump ground as its released by the leaves on trees and plants

Question 8

What’s surface water?

Answer 8

Some rain falls on land and runs back to the ocean through rivers and streams
