4.E.2: Weather and the Water Cycle SCPASS Review 4.E.2: Weather and the Water Cycle

The diagram shows processes of the water cycle labeled from 1 to 5 The diagram shows processes of the water cycle labeled from 1 to 5. A student identifies the processes as shown in the table below. Which processes did the student identify correctly? 1 and 2 3 and 4 1, 3, and 5 2, 3, and 4

Which step in the water cycle is labeled B in the diagram below? Condensation Runoff Precipitation Evaporation

A student placed 100 mL of water each in two identical beakers (A and B). He placed beaker A outside in the Sun and beaker B in the house. After 5 hours, the student observed that the amount of water in beaker B was the same, but the amount of water in beaker A was 90 mL. What process most likely explains the student’s observation? The water evaporated from beaker A due to the heat from the Sun. The water condensed in the atmosphere from beaker A. The water cooled enough in beaker A and changed into vapor state. The water warmed enough in beaker A and ran off into the atmosphere.

Arrow B shows rain that has fallen from a cloud and is now rolling across the ground. This step in the water cycle is known as: Precipitation Runoff Evaporation Condensation

Examine the water cycle diagram below. Which process is missing from the diagram? Condensation between A and B Condensation between B and C Runoff between A and B Runoff between C and A

When water in its liquid state evaporates, it becomes a gas known as ______________. Droplet Water Vapor Molecule Hydrogen

Pictured below is a nearly full glass of water Pictured below is a nearly full glass of water. If left outside on a hot day, the glass will be almost empty after several hours. What would cause this to happen? Condensation Runoff Evaporation Precipitation

It rained on a hot summer afternoon, and a puddle formed on a sidewalk It rained on a hot summer afternoon, and a puddle formed on a sidewalk. After several hours, the puddle disappeared. What two processes caused the puddle to form and disappear? Condensation followed by evaporation Condensation followed by runoff Precipitation followed by evaporation Precipitation followed by runoff

The diagram below shows cold juice inside a glass. What caused the water droplets to form on the outside of the glass? Precipitation came from the surrounding air to the outside of the glass. The water vapor in the air outside of the glass condensed when it came in contact with the cooler surface of the glass. The water vapor in the air outside of the glass evaporated when it came in contact with the cooler surface of the glass. Moisture cam from the inside of the glass and stayed on the outside of the glass.

Which is considered runoff in the water cycle? Water vapor cools and turns into clouds. Water falls as rain, snow, or sleet from the clouds. Water falls to Earth, and it flows over land into lakes and streams. Water changes into water vapor from oceans, lakes, and streams.

A group of 4th grade science students was asked to write one scientific observation about cirrus clouds. Which student’s observation would be considered unscientific? Student A Student B Student C Student D

A student is supposed to write an observation each day about the clouds she sees. The table below shows what she wrote down each day. Which observation would be considered a prediction? Day 1 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5

Why is it best to stay indoors if the area you live in is experiencing hurricane strength winds? The winds might cause debris to be sent flying at high speeds, which can cause a person great harm if the debris strikes him or her. The winds might cause hail to form, which can cause injuries to occur if it strikes a person. The winds might cause sink holes to occur, which can result in a person being trapped beneath the surface of the Earth. The winds might cause the Earth to split open, which can result in a person becoming trapped within the Earth.

What severe weather system would utilize these safety precautions? thunderstorm tornado tsunami hurricane

Which type of storm is shown in the satellite photograph? Thunderstorm Tornado Hurricane Blizzard

What is the difference between a tornado and a hurricane? A tornado is formed over warm water in the ocean and a hurricane is a funnel-shaped cloud A tornado has heavy rains that can cause flooding and a hurricane has high winds that tear buildings apart. A hurricane has heavy winds that destroy everything in their path and a tornado has very strong winds that form over warm weather in the ocean. A hurricane has very strong winds that form over warm water in the ocean and a tornado is a funnel-shaped cloud that has high winds that destroys everything in its path.
