Test Description: Questions on the water cycle and climate.
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Soil of which particle size usually has the greatest capillarity?
A
pebbles
B
coarse sand
C
fine sand
D
silt
2) During a dry summer, the flow of most large New York State streams generally
A
stops completely because no runoff reaches the streams
B
remains unchanged due to transpiration from grasses, shrubs, and trees
C
continues because some groundwater seeps into the streams
D
increases due to greater surface runoff
3) When rainfall occurs, the rainwater will most likely become surface runoff if the land surface is
A
nearly flat
B
impermeable
C
covered with grass
D
sandy
4) The greatest amount of rainwater infiltration occurs on the side of a hill if the surface of the permeable soil has
A
small soil particles and a gentle slope
B
small soil particles and a steep slope
C
large soil particles and a steep slope
D
large soil particles and a gentle slope
5) Which set of conditions would produce the most runoff of precipitation?
A
steep slope and impermeable surface
B
gentle slope and a gravel covered surface
C
steep slope and permeable surface
D
gentle slope and a clay-covered surface
6) What force causes water below the water table to flow through the ground?
A
gravity
B
capillarity
C
convection
D
surface tension
7) Why is soil capillarity important?
A
It prevents springs from flowing under buildings.
B
It allows water to flow down to the water table.
C
It allows the soil to hold lots of groundwater.
D
It allows water to rise into the plant root zone.
8) Which of the following would be the most helpful in keeping a plentiful supply of water for well water and freely flowing springs?
A
an increase in soil nutrients
B
an increase in precipitation
C
an increase in evaporation
D
an increase in soil capillarity
9) Surface runoff will probably increase if the rain
A
comes slowly in a long, steady rainfall
B
falls onto a hillside with a steep slope
C
infiltrates the soil very quickly
D
falls as snow that does not melt
10) What kind of bedrock would have the greatest permeability?
A
a rock that is solid, with no open space at all
B
a rock with a few large and connected cracks
