Start Quiz
1.
What makes cloud droplets fall as precipitation?
They evaporate
The Sun pushes them down
They are lighter than air
The droplets grow heavy and gravity pulls them down
2.
What is the water cycle?
The use of water by humans in homes

The continuous movement of water between the sea, the air and the land
3.
Using the graph, why do clouds form high above the ground?
Dr Dabour Hub Academy - figure 1
There is no water vapour near the ground

15.
Use the table. Which variable must be controlled in the soil infiltration test?
The water soaked in
The type of soil

The results
16.
What energy change happens when water vapour condenses to form clouds?
Energy is released
No energy change happens
Energy is taken in from the Sun
Energy is taken in from gravity
17.
Ground becoming soggy after rain is linked to which process?
Evaporation
Transpiration
Infiltration
Condensation
18.
Use the table. In which condition did the wet cloth dry fastest?
Warm and still
Warm and windy
Cold and still
Cold and windy
19.
Which process returns water from clouds to the Earth's surface?
Transpiration
Precipitation
Condensation
Evaporation
20.
A plant covered with a clear plastic bag mists up inside. Which process causes this?
Transpiration
Precipitation
Infiltration
Run-off
21.
How do clouds form?
Rain freezes in the air
Water soaks into rocks
Water evaporates from clouds
Water vapour cools and condenses into droplets
22.
What happens to the total amount of water on Earth over time?
It is used up each year
It keeps increasing
It stays the same
It keeps decreasing
23.
A student's notes contain one error. Which row?
Precipitation falls from clouds
Transpiration is from leaves
Clouds form by evaporation
Run-off flows to rivers
24.
What is infiltration?
Water soaking into soil and rock
Water evaporating from the sea
Water falling from clouds
Water vapour forming clouds
25.
Which statement best expresses the lesson objective about The water cycle?

The terms atmosphere and groundwater are always interchangeable
Evidence is unnecessary when studying The water cycle
Every model is an exact copy of reality
26.
Which force returns water to the sea through rivers and groundwater?
Air resistance
Friction
Magnetism
