Five Stages of the Water Cycle
The test will include questions on the following:
The Water Cycle and Its Five Stages:
•
Storage – Oceans, Reservoirs, Ice Sheets, Ice Caps, Glaciers, Soil, Plants, and Animals
•
Evaporation – Where water (Liquid) leaves the storage area and enters the atmosphere as
a water vapor (Gas)
•
Condensation – Where water vapor (Gas) rising in the atmosphere cools and becomes
cloud droplets (Liquid)
•
Precipitation – When enough water vapor condenses and collects on particles of dust to be
heavy, gravity returns the water to earth’s surface as precipitation: rain, sleet, snow, or hail
•
Runoff – Water flowing at earth’s surface, such as rivers, streams, tributaries, aqueducts,
aquifers, watersheds, or underground
Know and understand the following:
What fresh water is used for
Where salt and fresh water are found
Where evaporation occurs
What condensation creates
How cloud droplets collect to form precipitation
How harmful chemicals get into ground water
How plants and animals return water to the atmosphere
What causes sea vs. land breezes
What is the difference between aquifers, aqueducts, reservoirs, watersheds, and reclaimed
water?
