Steps of the water cycle
First step of the water cycle
What is evaporation?
Water drops falling from a cloud
What is rain?
A cloud with a fluffy top and a flat bottom; a "stereotypical cloud"
What is Cumulous
This is how water gets into the ground
What is infiltration?
This is the gas that gets exhaled during transpiration
What is water vapor
Second step of water cycle
What is condensation
Ice crystals falling from a cloud, it usually happens in winter
What is snow?
The step in the water cycle that makes clouds
What is Condensation?
Fill in the blank: There is a confined aquifer and an _____.
What is an unconfined aquifer?
This is the part of a plant through which it transpires
What is a stoma?
3rd step of the water cycle
What is precipitation?
water drops falling from a cloud that freeze on contact
What is Freezing Rain?
This type of cloud warns us that precipitation is coming
What is cirrus?
The top of an aquifer
What is a water table
The stomata of a plant close during this time
What is night?
When plants release water vapor into the atmosphere
What is transpiration
Most precipitation comes from these clouds
What is Cumulonimbus cloud?
Also known as a Nimbostratus cloud
What is stratus?
Impermeable rock that groundwater cannot go through
What is Bedrock
Transpiration helps in the movement of water and nutrients throughout the plant, playing a crucial role in this process.
What is photosynthesis?
This step is when precipitation soaks into the ground and becomes groundwater
What is infiltration?
This is the rainiest country in the world with an average annual precipitation of 3,240 millimeters (128 inches)
What is Colombia
The biggest king of clouds
What is cumulonimbus?
The biggest aquifer in America
What is the Ogallala aquifer?
Through evaporative cooling, plant transpiration brings down the temperature of this plant organ.
What is a leaf?
