Question

labeling the water cycle
place each step of the water cycle in its correct location.
condensation
evaporation
groundwater
precipitation
runoff
transpiration

Explanation:

1. Cloud box: Clouds form when water vapor cools and changes to liquid droplets, which is condensation.
2. Ocean upward arrows box: The sun heats ocean water, turning it into vapor, which is evaporation.
3. Tree upward arrows box: Plants release water vapor through their leaves, which is transpiration.
4. Mountain falling water box: Water falls from clouds to Earth's surface, which is precipitation.
5. Mountain downhill flow box: Water moves over land to bodies of water, which is runoff.
6. Underground box: Water that seeps into the ground and accumulates is groundwater.

Answer:

• Cloud box: Condensation
• Ocean upward arrows box: Evaporation
• Tree upward arrows box: Transpiration
• Mountain falling water box: Precipitation
• Mountain downhill flow box: Runoff
• Underground box: Groundwater
