Water Cycle
This is the stage of the water cycle where liquid water turns into gas (water vapor)
Evaporation
This is the stage of the water cycle where liquid water flows over the surface of the ground
Run off
Increased evaporation and precipitaion
Mr. Estes left a hot cup of coffee in a cool room. His students tells him that his coffee will get cold if he forgets to drink it. How cold could it get?
Only as cold as the room is
This is the stage of the water cycle where water vapor (gas) is turned into liquid.
True or false: Water can exist in all phases of matter: solid, liquid, and gas
True
The layer of earth's atmosphere where most clouds form and weather occurs
The Troposphere
Which air parcel will have more rainfall: Air parcel 1: 40 Degrees C or Air Parcel 2: 10 Degrees C. Why?
Air parcel two: it looses more energy than air parcel one, causing more condensation
This is the stage of the water cycle where liquid water falls to the ground from clouds
Precipitation
This is the stage of the water cycle where liquid water is absorbed into the ground
Infiltration
An increase in the amount of surface water can result in this:
Increased evaporation and precipitation
When wind pushes air parcels higher in the troposphere, the air parcel looses more _____ which means _______
Energy, condensation and rainfall
The four types of precipitation are:
Rain, snow, sleet, hail
Collection of water that is stored underground
Groundwater
The Sun or the Sun's Energy
When air parcels have more energy (heat), it will rise ______ into the troposphere
higher
This is the stage of the water cycle where water vapor (gas) is released into the air from plants or trees
Transpiration
accumulation or collection
This is what wind can do to air parcels, resulting in increased precipitation:
Push the air parcels up higher into the troposphere, causing more condensation
When an air parcel loses energy, it results in this:
Loss of heat or condensation. This results in more liquid water in the clouds and more rainfall
