- Q1Which step of the water cycle returns water to the air?CirculationTranspirationCondensationEvaporation30s
- Q2Which step of the water cycle changes water into clouds?EvaporationCirculationPrecipitationCondensation45s
- Q3Where does most evaporated water on Earth come from?LakesOceansPolar Ice CapsLand30s
- Q4What are organisms?All living thingsAll plantsAll Animals30s
- Q5Water changes from a liquid into a gas when it goes fromliquid water to water in the aira cloud to the groundwater in the air to a cloudan organism to the air30s
- Q6How does the outside of a glass get wet when it sits on the table full of a cold drink?Water vapor from the air got cold and condensed on the glassSomeone sprayed the glass with waterA mouse snuck into the room and put water on the glassWater soaked through holes in the glass45s
- Q7Why is water special to our planet and all of the life on our planet?It has a low specific heatIt exists on Earth in all three states of matterIt can be changed from a liquid to a solidMs. Welch loves it45s
- Q8Where does condensation take place in the water cycle?In the sky. Water leaves the ground and is changed into water vapor.Inside a cloud. Water heats and forms water droplets.Inside a cloud. Water droplets gather and become large enough for rain or snow.In the sky. Water vapor rises, cools, and turns into a liquid.45s
- Q9How are rain drops created?Ice crystals in clouds warm up enough to change back into liquid water and water drops are created.The sun shines and the water changes into droplets that form a cloud.Water vapor rises, cools, and the water molecules stick together to form drops.Scientists aren't sure how water vapor becomes a rain drop.45s
- Q10Earth is unique because water naturally completes the water cycle. Which property allows the water cycle to exist?Water is cohesiveWater can change phaseWater is an universal solventWater can form droplets45s
- Q11The sun's heat is uneven causing...SunburnsWindSun spotsClouds60s
- Q12People argue all the time about climate change. Why is climate change difficult to prove?Some parts of the Earth are really hot while others are coldMany different factors can impact the Earth's climate and temperatureIt is difficult to tell if humans or something natural are causing the changesThere is no reliable method to measure the temperature of the entire planet45s
- Q13Imagine this: the Sun disappears one day. Suddenly there are no clouds, no wind, and no water cycle. Why do they disappear at the same time as the sun?The moon isn't impacting the tides and without tides we have no weatherIf there is no sun the weather still continues. This question is wrong!The weather men need light to run their camerasThe sun is the source of energy that drives the weather on Earth45s
- Q14Ms. Welch looks at the weather report the night before the Circle S Farm fieldtrip. Based on the location of the Jet Stream she decides that the field trip will be freezing! Why can weather forcasters use the Jet Stream to predict weather patterns?The Jet Stream causes an El Nino weather system to move through the areas around the Great LakesThe Jet Stream controls the speed and direction of global windsThe air north of the Jet Stream is cold and the air south of the Jet Stream is warmThe Jet Stream separates moist northern air from dry southern air60s
- Q15Global warming is warming the entire planet. This includes warming the ocean currents. How can ocean currents contribute to climate change?The ocean moves the thermal energy from one part of the ocean to another partThe ocean absorbs the thermal energy due to its high specific heatThe ocean waves blend the different temperatures of waterThe ocean uses its high salt content to melt the ice that floats in the far north and far south parts of Earth60s
