### Flashcards on "The Water Cycle" --- **1. Question:** What is the water cycle, and why is it important? **Answer:** The water cycle is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It is important because it regulates the Earth's climate, supports life, and maintains ecosystems. --- **2. Question:** Name the primary processes involved in the water cycle. **Answer:** The primary processes are: - Evaporation - Condensation - Precipitation - Collection (runoff and infiltration) --- **3. Question:** Explain the role of the sun in the water cycle. **Answer:** The sun provides the energy needed for evaporation, which is the first step in the water cycle. It heats the water, causing it to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere. --- **4. Question:** What happens during the condensation process in the water cycle? **Answer:** During condensation, water vapor in the atmosphere cools and changes back into liquid form, forming clouds. This process releases heat, which contributes to weather patterns. --- **5. Question:** Provide an example of how precipitation can vary in form. **Answer:** Precipitation can occur as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. For example, in warm climates, it typically falls as rain, while in colder regions, it may fall as snow or hail. ---
