QUIZ THE WATER CYCLEOnline version The Water Cycle Quiz is an engaging and educational activity designed to test participants' knowledge about the processes involved in the water cycle. This quiz covers key concepts such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Participants will answer a series of multiple-choice and true/false questions that challenge their understanding of how water moves through the environment. by Jovan Ka 1 The stage in the water cycle when water changes into water vapor is called… a Condensation b Evaporation c Collection d Precipitation 2 Rainwater that falls from clouds to the earth is called… a Transpiration b Condensation c Precipitation d Evaporation 3 Why can water that evaporates from the surface of rivers and lakes form clouds in the sky? a Because water vapor rises and undergoes condensation into tiny water droplets b Because water immediately falls as rain c Beacuse water seeps into the ground d Because water is absorbed by plants 4 How does the process of transpiration help the water cycle? a It turns water into rain b It evaporates water from leaves into the air, helping to form water vapor c It absorbs water into the soil d It helps water flow into rivers 5 If you see puddles on the ground after rain, which processes cause the water to gradually decrease? a Evaporation and infiltration b Precipitation and condensation c Transpiration and precipitation d Condensation and infiltration 6 A student places water under sunlight and observes the water level decreasing. Which stage of the water cycle is happening? Explain your answer! a Evaporation, because water changes into water vapor due to the heat of the sun b Condensation, because water changes into tiny droplets c Precipitation, because water falls to the ground d Infiltration, because water seeps into the soil 7 If a large-scale deforestation occurs in an area, how will it affect the process of transpiration and the overall water cycle? a Transpiration decreases, so water vapor in the air decreases, which can reduce cloud formation and rainfall b Transpiration increases, causing more rain to fall c There is no effect on the water cycle d Precipitation increases because there are no trees 8 In an area, after heavy rain, water does not soak into the ground but instead pools on the surface. What likely happens to infiltration and surface runoff? Explain! a Infiltration decreases because the soil is saturated, so surface runoff increases b Infiltration increases and surface runoff decreases c Infiltration and surface runoff remain the same d Surface runoff decreases and infiltration decreases 9 A student observes that at night, water vapor in the air turns into dew on leaves. Explain what process is happening and why it occurs at night! a Condensation, because the air temperature drops and water vapor turns into tiny droplets b Evaporation, because water changes into water vapor c Precipitation, because water falls to the ground d Infiltration, because water seeps into the soil 10 If the air is very hot and dry, how does this affect the stages of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle? Explain! a Evaporation increases due to high temperature, but condensation decreases because dry air makes cloud formation difficult b Both evaporation and condensation increase c Evaporation decreases and condensation increases d Both evaporation and condensation decrease
