1. Which of the following describes the correct sequence of events during the water cycle?
precipitation → condensation → evaporation → runoff
condensation → precipitation → runoff → evaporation
runoff → condensation → evaporation → precipitation
evaporation → condensation → runoff → precipitation
2. Which set of terms applies to processes in which water undergoes a change of state?
condensation and evaporation
precipitation and evaporation
condensation and precipitation
evaporation, condensation, and precipitation
three states:
ice , water , gas(water vapor)
which has two of them ?
Idk
1.D
2.D
#1 Looks like B to me
D means that it doesn't rain till after the water has run off. Clearly it has to precipitate before the water is in the river.
1) B
2) condense = vapor to liquid
evaporate = liquid to vapor
both phase changes
to precipitate is just to fall, not to change state.
1. To determine the correct sequence of events during the water cycle, let's break down the options:
- Option 1: precipitation → condensation → evaporation → runoff
- Option 2: condensation → precipitation → runoff → evaporation
- Option 3: runoff → condensation → evaporation → precipitation
- Option 4: evaporation → condensation → runoff → precipitation
The correct sequence is option 2: condensation → precipitation → runoff → evaporation.
To arrive at this conclusion, we need to understand the different phases of the water cycle:
1. Evaporation: The process in which water (in various forms such as liquid or ice) changes into water vapor due to heat.
2. Condensation: The process in which water vapor condenses back into liquid water. This occurs when air containing water vapor cools down, such as when it reaches dew point.
3. Precipitation: The process in which condensed water vapor forms into droplets and falls from the atmosphere. This can include rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
4. Runoff: The movement of water from higher elevations to lower elevations, typically as a result of precipitation. It includes the flow of water across the Earth's surface and into rivers, streams, and other water bodies.
Based on this understanding, the correct sequence of events is condensation → precipitation → runoff → evaporation.
2. The set of terms that applies to processes in which water undergoes a change of state are:
- Condensation: The process in which water vapor changes into liquid water due to cooling.
- Evaporation: The process in which liquid water or ice changes into water vapor due to heating.
- Precipitation: The process in which condensed water vapor forms into droplets and falls from the atmosphere, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Therefore, the correct answer is evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
