The document is a quiz about the water cycle. It contains 7 multiple choice questions about the different processes involved in the water cycle: 1. Question 1 asks about precipitation, which is any product of atmospheric water vapor that falls to the ground, including rain, snow, sleet and hail. 2. Question 2 asks about evaporation, which is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas in the atmosphere. 3. Question 3 asks about infiltration, which is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. 4. The quiz contains 7 questions total about the major processes in the water cycle like precipitation, evaporation, infiltration, transpiration, groundwater

The water cycle quiz
- 2. • Water that is located below the earth’s surface. Over time water from rain and rivers migrates through the ground and is stored in porous soils and rocks. – A – Precipitation – B – Collection – C – Evaporation – D – Groundwater Question 1
- 3. • Any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity. The main forms are: drizzle, rain, sleet, snow and hail. – A – Precipitation – B – Collection – C – Evaporation – D – Groundwater Question 2
- 4. • The process whereby water changes from its gaseous form (water vapour) into liquid water. Generally occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and looses its capacity to hold water vapour. As a result, excess water vapour forms cloud droplets. – A – Precipitation – B – Collection – C – Evaporation – D – Condensation Question 3
- 5. Question 4 • The process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. – A – Infiltration – B – Collection – C – Evaporation – D – Groundwater
- 6. Question 5 • The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to water vapour and is released to the atmosphere. – A – Infiltration – B – Transpiration – C – Evaporation – D – Groundwater
- 7. Question 6 • The process by which water is converted from a liquid to a gas and thereby moves from land and surface water into the atmosphere. – A – Infiltration – B – Transpiration – C – Evaporation – D – Groundwater
- 8. Question 7 • Water from rain, snow melt or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle. – A – Infiltration – B – Transpiration – C – Evaporation – D – Surface runoff
