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) aquifer
a) this process converts liquid water into water vapor. b) condensation
c) deposition
b) only 3% of the earths water comes in this form. d) evaporation
c) this is the process that converts solid ice into gaseous water. e) freezing
d) this process creates clouds. f) fresh water
e) this process occurs when water vapor collects into larger liquid droplets. g) melting
f) in this process, plants release water vapor into the air. h) percolation
g) this process occurs when excess rainwater or melt water drains into lakes, rivers and streams. i) precipitation
j) run - off
h) this is the process that converts gaseous water into solid ice. k) salt water
l) sublimation
i) this comes in the form of snow, rain, sleet and hail. m) transpiration
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 where liquid water turns into water vapor.
• b) Fresh water makes up only 3% of Earth's water.
• c) Sublimation converts solid ice directly into gaseous water.
• d) Condensation is involved in cloud formation as water vapor cools and condenses.
• e) Condensation also occurs when water vapor collects into larger liquid droplets.
• f) Transpiration is when plants release water vapor into the air.
• g) Run - off is when excess rainwater or melt water drains into lakes, rivers, and streams.
• h) Deposition converts gaseous water into solid ice.
• i) Precipitation comes in forms like snow, rain, sleet, and hail.
• j) Freezing converts liquid water into solid water (ice).
• k) Salt water makes up 97% of Earth's water.
• l) Melting (solid to liquid) and sublimation (solid to gas) can cause glaciers or icebergs to get smaller.
• m) Percolation is when rainwater filters through soil.
