The Water Cycle Flashcards

All 6 cards in this deck

Name the water cycle process in which liquid water turns into water vapour.: Evaporation (vaporisation).
What causes water vapour to condense and form clouds?: The water vapour cools down.
Name the water cycle process by which water returns from clouds to the ground.: Precipitation (e.g. rain, snow).
Which process is used to obtain fresh (potable) water from seawater in areas of drought?: Desalination.
Why is the water cycle important to living organisms?: It continually supplies fresh water, which organisms need for cells, chemical reactions and transport of substances.
True or false? Transpiration adds water vapour to the air in the water cycle.: True. Plants lose water vapour from their leaves by transpiration, which then condenses to form clouds.
