precipitation
B
evaporation
C
condensation
D
runoff
2) Yesterday it rained. Why is the sidewalk and street now dry?
A
All of these answers are correct.
B
All of the water precipitated.
C
All of the water on the ground condensed.
D
All of the water on the ground evaporated, sunk into the ground, or ran off into a stream or gutter.
3) What is evaporation?
A
Evaporation is when rain falls from the sky.
B
Evaporation is when there is water on the ground.
C
Evaporation is when water is heated and turns into a water vapor.
D
Evaporation is when clouds form in the sky.
4) There are four cities. Which city would have the most evaporation?
A
City C is not near any water and the temperature is 85*F.
B
City B is by a lake and the temperature is 60*F.
C
City A is by a river and the temperature is 70*F.
D
City D is by an ocean and the temperature is 80*F.
5) If you wash your hair and let it air dry, what happens to the water that was on your hair?
A
The water condenses.
B
The water precipitates.
C
The water first condenses, then precipitates.
D
The water evaporates.
6) When water evaporates, this forms:
A
rain
B
liquid droplets
C
snow
D
water vapor
7) After water evaporates and rises into the air as water vapor, what happens when it becomes cold?
A
It returns to the ground.
B
Once it becomes water vapor, it stays water vapor forever.
C
It falls as rain, snow, or hail.
D
It turns into water droplets that make up a cloud.
8) Condensation is when:
A
water vapor becomes hotter and spreads out
B
water vapor becomes cold and turns back into liquid water
C
when water falls to the ground
D
when water in a stream runs into a river
9) Which of the following is an example of condensation?
A
You see snow falling from the sky.
B
You see a river that flows into a lake.
C
You can see your breath on a cold winter morning - it's like a small cloud!
D
Your shoes are wet from puddle jumping, and you let them air dry!
10) Some mornings you can see fog. How does fog form?
A
Fog forms when there is light rain.
B
Fog forms when a cloud becomes too heavy.
C
Fog forms after a rain when water is evaporating quickly back into the sky.
D
Fog forms when the air near the ground is cold and water vapor turns into liquid droplets, making it cloudy near the ground.
11) Condensation happens when water vapor:
A
becomes heavy
B
becomes warm
C
becomes cold
12) Why do most cloud form high up in the sky?
A
The temperature high up in the sky is much warmer than on the ground.
B
The temperature high up in the sky is much colder than on the ground.
C
There is only water vapor high up in the sky.
13) After evaporation and condensation, the next step is when rain falls. This step is called:
A
photosynthesis
B
runoff
C
precipitation
D
sedimentation
14) Precipitation is when:
A
water vapor turns back into a liquid
B
rain, snow or hail fall from a cloud
C
water turns into water vapor
D
water is found on the ground
15) In order for it to rain, first evaporation happens. Then __________, and then precipitation. What step is missing?
A
runoff
B
condensation
C
precipitation
D
evaporation
16) What causes rain to fall from a cloud?
A
When the water droplets in the cloud join together and become too heavy, so they fall.
B
When there is lightning which changes clouds.
C
When the air near the ground is very warm.
D
When there is thunder in the sky.

evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff
C
precipitation, evaporation, runoff, condensation
