Which is denser?12http://www.uvm.edu/~inquiryb/webquest/sp09/tgasperi/StageOne.html

Water Vapor is tiny water droplets that are light enough to float into the air. When enough water vapor gets into the air, clouds are formed! This process is called

Condensation!

Precipitation occurs when clouds fill up with so much water that it can't hold anymore.

2. How does surface water gets into aquifers?Surface water includes the ocean, lakes, ponds, rivers while aquifer is water underground. 2. How does surface water gets into aquifers?Aquifer is water underground. Surface water reaches the aquifer by means of percolation.Sun powers the wind and the evaporation of water.3. Why is the Sun so important for the water cycle to happen?4. What is the difference between evapotranspiration and evaporation?5. How do clouds form?

3. Why is the Sun so important for the water cycle to happen?Because the Sun is responsible for the wind and the evaporation of water.4. What is the difference between evapotranspiration and evaporation?Evapotranspiration is evaporation of water from plants while evaporation is evaporation of water from surface water.5. How do clouds form?The condensation of water vapor form clouds.

6. Since 1901, global surface temperatures have risen at an average rate of 0.13F every ten years. In which way could the average increase in global temperatures influence Earth?by increasing the formation of sea ice within polar regions B. by increasing the amount of flooding because of rising sea levels

7. Which is most likely a prevention strategy for flooding?A building artificial leveesB. reducing water consumptionC. recycling bottled-water containersD. building waste landfills for metals and other contaminants

What is most responsible for the presence of groundwater in an area?the movement of surface water and precipitation through soil and rockthe movement of water from a confined aquifer into surface water

9. Which is the most common contamination source for freshwater resources?A. runoff B. digging wellsC. melting of glaciers D. lightning

10. A community decides to upgrade its water purification and management systems.What lasting impact could this have on available freshwater?A. It could cause a decrease in water demandB. It could cause an increase in waterborne diseases.C. It could cause a decrease in the water levels. D. It could cause an increase in the freshwater supply.
