2nd Form Summer Exam

Question 1

What happens to water in the clouds?

Answer 1

The clouds get carried along by the wind. The droplets inside them grow into larger drops leading to precipitation.

Question 2

What is evaporation?

Answer 2

Evaporation is the process where the sun warms oceans, lakes, and seas, turning water into water vapour (a gas).

Question 3

What happens to water after it evaporates?

Answer 3

Some of the water runs along the ground, and some soaks through it, heading for streams and rivers.

Question 4

What does the river do in the water cycle?

Answer 4

The river carries the water back into the oceans and seas.

Question 5

What occurs during precipitation?

Answer 5

The water drops fall as rain, hail, sleet, or snow.

Question 6

What happens to water vapour in the air?

Answer 6

The air rises. High up, where it’s colder, the water vapour condenses into tiny water droplets, forming clouds.
