What is another name for water in its gas form?
Water vapor
100
What temperature does it need to be for Condensation to happen?
Cold
100
What temperature does it need to be for Evaporation to happen?
Hot
100
Process of the water cycle in which clouds eventually become “too heavy” and the water falls from the atmosphere to Earth’s surface.
Precipitation
100
Process of the water cycle in which the sun warms water on Earth’s surface. It causes liquid water to change into a gas.
Evaporation
200
How much of Earth’s water is actually drinkable and accessible for human use?
Less than 1%
200
What is an aquifer?
A pool of underground water
200
Which process of the Water Cycle is this?
Condensation
200
Process of the water cycle in which precipitation that falls to Earth’s surfaces moves from high to low elevations and collects in lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Collection
200
Process of the water cycle in which water vapor in the atmosphere cools and changes back into liquid form.
Condensation
300
What are the three types of water that exist on Earth?
Saltwater, Frozen Water, and Freshwater
300
Why would an aquifer run out of water?
Because there has not been enough rain (not enough precipitation) to fill up the aquifer.
300
Which plant tells us there is an aquifer below? Why?
The Native Prairie Grasses because they have long roots; which means there is an aquifer deep below the surface.
300
Process of the water cycle in which water on Earth’s surface will go seep into the ground. Water is stored in the soil- creating an aquifer.
Infiltration
300
What are clouds made of?
Dust and water droplets
400
What is the driving force of the water cycle?
the Sun
400
What process of the water cycle is this?
Transpiration
400
The name for the water that moves from high to low elevations during Collection
Runoff
400
Process of the water cycle in which water in the soil will be taken up by plants. Plants take up water in soil through their roots.
Absorption
400
Process of the water cycle in which the sun warms plants, it causes water to evaporate out of the leaves through the small openings
Transpiration
500
What are the three forms of water exists on Earth?
solid, liquid, and gas
500
What are two water cycle processes that make aquifers?
Precipitation and Infiltration
500
What are the two water cycle processes that must happen before Percipitation?
Evaporation and Condensation
500
When and where do hurricanes form? Why?
Summertime, and over the ocean. Because the heat causes a lot of water in the ocean to evaporate and turn to water vapor in the sky.

Draw a and label a diagram showing the processes involved in making it rain
Hint: you should include three processes in your diagram.
