Water Cycle 1
The water cycle is driven by gravity and the ______.
sun
Name two forms of precipitation.
What is rain, hail, sleet, and snow?
The process of condensation is when a gas turns into a ...
most of this is stored in the glaciers at the north and south pole
What is fresh water?
How heat is transferred from the sun.
What is radiation?
measures air pressure
What is a barometer?
the process of water being carried from land to a river
What is run-off?
the gas form of water
Water Vapor
Where does most of the earths evaporation come from
oceans
Though the water on earth is changing its form all of the time, the amount of water on earth has always ______________________________________.
What is "stayed the same."
The process of transferring heat from one object to another through direct contact.
What is conduction?
when air particles are packed together, the air becomes....
What is compressed or more dense?
DAILY DOUBLE: This means you can wager up to 600 points (you can also lose 600 points)
Explain the diagram shown
During the day the air above the land is warmer and less dense, while the air above the sea is cooler and denser. During the night, the land loses its warmth very quickly so we get a cool breeze that is more dense with a warmer breeeze that is less dense coming in.
When water vapor turns into a liquid in the atmosphere it forms...
a cloud.
any form of water that falls from the clouds
precipitation
True or False: the water cycle never stops
True
The direction that heat moves.
What is hot to cold.
When air and water particles are heated this happens....
particles increase kinetic energy(movement) and exapand outward
Water particles in the process of condensation
What is more dense and liquid form?
water that moves under the Earth's surface located in bedrock..
What is ground water?
The energy source that drives the water cycle.
the Sun
When liquid water turns to water vapor
evaporation
Best way to make a solar water heater...
What is a dark color with a transparent lid?
DAILY DOUBLE: This means you can wager up to 800 points (or lose 800 points if wrong)
Label the picture shown
What is gas, liquid, and solid?
the cooling process by which a gas changes back into a liquid
What is condensation?
the heating process by which a liquid changes into a gas
Evaporation
Plants contribute to the water cycle through this process.
What is transpiration?
For water to take solid form it has to reach what degree celcius
What is 0 degrees?
occurs when a warmer, less dense part of the fluid rises, while the cooler, denser part sinks to take its place
What is convection?
What is the hottest layer of atmoshphere?
Thermosphere?
