5.

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

a) condensation b) evaporation

c) precipitation

6. What is evaporation?

a) The part of the water cycle when the sun b) The part of the water cycle when clouds get
heats up water, turning it from a liquid into heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water.
water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground This causes the water to fall from the sky to
into the air. the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

c) The part of the water cycle when the water

vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns
back into a liquid and forms clouds.
7. What is condensation?

a) The part of the water cycle when the sun b) The part of the water cycle when the water
heats up water, turning it from a liquid into vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns
water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground back into a liquid and forms clouds.
into the air.

c) The part of the water cycle when clouds get

heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water.
This causes the water to fall from the sky to
the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

8. What is precipitation?

a) The part of the water cycle when the sun b) The part of the water cycle when the water
heats up water, turning it from a liquid into vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns
water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground back into a liquid and forms clouds.
into the air.

c) The part of the water cycle when clouds get

heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water.
This causes the water to fall from the sky to
the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
