water cycle

Question 1

evaporation

Answer 1

sun warms the warm bodies of water causing it to evaporate

Question 2

transpiration

Answer 2

water in the soil gets absorbed by the roots and it travels to the leaves of a plant. (plants lose water vapour from the small pores on the underside of their leaves.)

Question 3

condensation

Answer 3

the cooler temp of the upper atmosphere and particles of dust cause water vapour to condense into clouds.

Question 4

precipitation

Answer 4

anything liquid or frozen that falls out of the sky. (rain, hail, snow)

Question 5

run off

Answer 5

when there is more water than land can absorb then force of gravity pulls water downhill. (rivers, streams, ground water,). surface water run off (excess rain water, seasonal melting)

Question 6

infiltration

Answer 6

water seeps into the soil and percolates deeper into the ground forming the water table. (ground matter, aquifers)

Question 7

collection

Answer 7

water from precipitation and run off makes their way back to bodies of water (oceans, lakes, glaciers)
