- Q1Which of the following events in the water cycle is an example of solar energy being absorbed?Water vapor condensing to form cloudsWater evaporating from the surface of an oceanRain freezing as it falls toward the groundClouds releasing precipitation over a mountain60s5.8.B: Earth and Space
- Q2The diagram above shows the process of evaporation over the ocean. What is the most likely effect of this process on the land areas nearby?Increased precipitationDecreased solar energyIncreased drought conditionsDecreased erosion of the shoreline60s5.8.B: Earth and Space
- Q3This photograph shows a beach on a partly sunny day. Which of the following is an interaction between the sun and the ocean that results in clouds forming near the beach?Light from the sun reflects off the surface of the ocean.Energy from the sun causes precipitation over the ocean.Light from the sun decreases the amount of water vapor in the air over the ocean.Energy from the sun causes water to evaporate from the ocean.60s5.8.B: Earth and Space
- Q4The model below shows where water can be found during different stages of the water cycle. What should be added to the diagram to better explain the water cycle?Soil to trap water from runoffThe sun to provide energy for evaporationRocks to release thermal energyPlants to provide oxygen in the atmosphere60s5.8.B: Earth and Space
