- 1.
What rises in the water cycle?
- A.
Rain
- B.
Vapor
- C.
Ice
- D.
Snow
Correct Answer
B. VaporExplanation
In the water cycle, water evaporates from bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, and turns into water vapor. This water vapor then rises into the atmosphere. Eventually, the water vapor condenses to form clouds and eventually falls back to the Earth as precipitation, which can be in the form of rain, snow, or ice. Therefore, vapor is the correct answer as it is the initial stage of the water cycle where water rises into the atmosphere.Rate this question:

- A.
Rain
- B.
Vapor
- C.
Candy
Correct Answer
A. RainExplanation
Rain falls from the clouds to the ground. It is a form of precipitation that occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into droplets and becomes heavy enough to fall. Rain is an essential part of the Earth's water cycle and plays a crucial role in providing water for plants, animals, and human beings.Rate this question:

Vapor rises and slowly cools down. It then attaches itself to pollen and dust forming a cloud. This is called?
- A.
Evaporation
- B.
Precipitation
- C.
Condensation
Correct Answer
C. CondensationExplanation
When vapor rises and cools down, it undergoes condensation. This process involves the conversion of water vapor into liquid water as it loses heat energy. As the vapor cools, it attaches itself to pollen and dust particles in the air, forming a cloud. Therefore, the correct answer is condensation.Rate this question:

Moisture builds up slow and the clouds begin to grow. The currents can hold the moisture up, so it begins to rain or snow. We call this?
- A.
Condensation
- B.
Precipitation
- C.
Evaporation
Correct Answer
B. PrecipitationExplanation
Precipitation refers to the process in which moisture in the air condenses into water droplets or ice crystals and falls to the ground. The given explanation states that moisture builds up slowly and the clouds begin to grow. The currents in the air can hold the moisture, causing it to rain or snow. This aligns with the concept of precipitation, making it the correct answer.Rate this question:

The heat of the sun warms the earth and warms the H2O. It changes water into gas and on a current up it goes. We call this ?
- A.
Precipitation
- B.
Condensation
- C.
Evaporation
Correct Answer
C. EvaporationExplanation
The given explanation describes the process of water being heated by the sun, causing it to change into gas and rise. This process is known as evaporation.Rate this question:
