Question

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

Explanation:

To label the water cycle:

1. Top cloud (near sun): Condensation (water vapor cools into liquid droplets, forming clouds).
2. Arrows from water body (ocean/lake): Evaporation (liquid water turns to vapor due to sun’s heat).
3. Arrows from trees: Transpiration (water vapor released from plant leaves).
4. Rain/snow falling: Precipitation (condensed water falls to Earth as rain, snow, etc.).
5. Water flowing down mountains/land: Runoff (precipitation flows over land into water bodies).
6. Water underground: Groundwater (water seeps into soil/rock layers underground).

Answer:

• Top cloud (near sun): Condensation
• Arrows from water body: Evaporation
• Arrows from trees: Transpiration
• Falling rain/snow: Precipitation
• Water flowing down land: Runoff
• Underground water: Groundwater
