Question

1. match each statement with the term that is the most correct. each term may be used once, more than once or not at all.

a) this process converts liquid water into water vapor.
b) only 3% of the earths water comes in this form.
c) this is the process that converts solid ice into gaseous water.
d) this process creates clouds.
e) this process occurs when water vapor collects into larger liquid droplets.
f) in this process, plants release water vapor into the air.
g) this process occurs when excess rainwater or melt water drains into lakes, rivers and streams.
h) this is the process that converts gaseous water into solid ice.
i) this comes in the form of snow, rain, sleet and hail.
j) this is the process that converts liquid water into solid water.
k) 97% of the earths water comes in this form.
l) these two processes can cause glaciers or icebergs get smaller in size.
m) this process involves rainwater filtering through soil.

Explanation:

• a) Evaporation is the process of liquid water turning into water vapor.
• b) Only 3% of Earth's water is fresh water.
• c) Sublimation converts solid ice directly to gaseous water.
• d) Condensation forms clouds as water vapor cools and collects.
• e) Condensation also occurs when water vapor forms larger liquid droplets.
• f) Transpiration is when plants release water vapor.
• g) Run - off is excess water draining into lakes, etc.
• h) Deposition turns gaseous water to solid ice.
• i) Precipitation is snow, rain, etc.
• j) Freezing changes liquid water to solid.
• k) 97% of Earth's water is salt water.
• l) Melting (solid to liquid) and sublimation (solid to gas) make glaciers smaller.
• m) Percolation is rainwater filtering through soil.
