- Q1What is the process called when water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water in the atmosphere?EvaporationCondensationSublimationPrecipitation30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q2In what form does water primarily move from the surface to the atmosphere in the water cycle?Liquid dropletsIce crystalsCondensed mistWater vapor30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q3What role does gravity play in the water cycle?Gravity causes evaporation of water into the atmosphere.Gravity pulls precipitation down to Earth’s surface.Gravity allows condensation to form clouds.Gravity transforms water vapor into liquid water.30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q4What process in the water cycle is responsible for the formation of clouds?InfiltrationEvaporationTranspirationCondensation30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q5What is the process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere?TranspirationPrecipitationCondensationEvaporation30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q6Which part of the water cycle involves water soaking into the ground to replenish aquifers?TranspirationCondensationInfiltrationEvaporation30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q7What term describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth?Carbon cycleGeological cycleAtmospheric cycleHydrologic cycle30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q8Which process in the water cycle is primarily driven by the force of gravity?EvaporationCondensationPrecipitationTranspiration30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q9What is the primary energy source driving the cycling of water through Earth's systems?Geothermal heatThe MoonWind energyThe Sun30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q10During which stage of the water cycle does water change from a liquid to a gas?InfiltrationCondensationEvaporationPrecipitation30s7-MS-ESS2-4
- Q11Which phenomenon describes the pattern of wind direction caused by the rotation of Earth and the uneven heating of its surface?Coriolis effectTrade windsJet streamsOcean currents30s7-MS-ESS2-6
- Q12What is the primary reason that different regions of the Earth experience varying climates?The tilt of the Earth's axisThe distance from the equatorThe rotation speed of the EarthUnequal heating of the Earth's surface due to sunlight.30s7-MS-ESS2-6
- Q13What role do ocean currents play in regulating regional climates?They transfer heat from the equator towards the poles.They increase atmospheric pressure over continentsThey block sunlight from reaching the ocean depthsThey cause rapid temperature fluctuations in coastal regions30s7-MS-ESS2-6
- Q14Why do regions at higher latitudes generally have cooler climates compared to regions at lower latitudes?They experience more frequent seismic activityThey have higher atmospheric pressureThey receive less direct sunlight throughout the year.They are closer to the Earth's magnetic poles30s7-MS-ESS2-6
- Q15How does the distribution of continents affect oceanic circulation patterns?Continents obstruct and redirect the flow of ocean currents.Continents generate ocean currents through gravitational forcesContinents create deep ocean trenches that absorb currentsContinents stabilize ocean temperature year-round30s7-MS-ESS2-6
