Question 1 of 6

What do we call it when liquid water is heated by the sun and becomes water vapour?

Explanation

Evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas. The sun's heat makes water in seas, lakes and puddles evaporate.

Question 2 of 6

Hint

It starts with "con".

Explanation

Condensation is when a gas cools and turns back into a liquid, like drops forming on a cold glass.

Explanation

Precipitation is any water that falls from clouds to the ground: rain, snow, sleet and hail.

Question 4 of 6

After rain falls on hills, where does much of the water go next?

Explanation

Gravity pulls the water downhill. It collects in streams and rivers, which flow to lakes and the sea, where it can evaporate again.

Question 5 of 6

True or false: the water cycle uses the same water again and again.

True. Water is not used up. It keeps moving between the sea, the sky and the land.
