Water as a Resource — Flashcards

Answer

Evaporation is the process where water turns into water vapour when heated by the Sun. For example, water from ponds and lakes dries up in summer due to evaporation.

Answer

Condensation is when water vapour cools down and turns back into water. For example, tiny water drops form on the outside of a cold glass on a hot day.

Answer

These droplets are called dew. They form when water vapour in the air cools down at night and condenses on cold leaves and grass.

Answer

Water evaporates into steam. When the steam touches the cold lid, it condenses into water droplets. This shows both evaporation and condensation.

Answer

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water between the Earth and the atmosphere through evaporation, condensation, and rainfall.

Answer

Water evaporates from rivers and oceans, rises as vapour, cools and condenses into clouds. When the droplets become heavy, they fall as rain.

Answer

1. Evaporation – water turns into vapour. 2. Condensation – vapour forms clouds. 3. Precipitation – water falls as rain or snow.

Answer

Some rainwater soaks into the ground and becomes groundwater. This water is stored underground and can be pumped out for use.
