About This Quiz


It is essential to understand the processes of the water cycle as it plays a significant role in what we know as planet earth. Not only does this process help information of some of the geographical features we see, but it helps living things to remain living. Do you have basic knowledge about the water cycle? Take up the quiz below and get to find out!

Do You Have Basic Knowledge About Water Cycle Process? - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    The Water Cycle ends.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The water cycle does not have an ending point. It is a continuous process in which water evaporates from bodies of water, condenses into clouds, falls as precipitation, and then repeats the cycle. Therefore, the statement "The Water Cycle ends" is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    97% of our water is in the oceans and seas.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because approximately 97% of the Earth's water is found in the oceans and seas. This water is saline and not suitable for consumption or most human activities. The remaining 3% of water is freshwater, which includes water in rivers, lakes, groundwater, and ice caps.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    'Water moving on land' is ______________.

    • Collection

    • Evapotranspiration

    • Evection

    • Run-off

    Correct Answer
    A. Run-off
    Explanation
    Run-off refers to the movement of water on the land surface, typically as a result of precipitation. It occurs when the ground is unable to absorb all the water, causing it to flow over the surface and eventually into streams, rivers, and other bodies of water. Run-off plays a crucial role in the water cycle and can have significant impacts on erosion, flooding, and the overall health of ecosystems.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Evection is water moving on land.

    • False

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Evection is not water moving on land. It is actually a type of tidal phenomenon caused by the combined gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon on Earth's oceans. This causes the water to move in a specific pattern, resulting in tidal bulges and variations in sea levels.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Run off is connected with land.

    • I don't know

    • False

    • True

    • Neither

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Runoff refers to the flow of water that occurs when excess rainwater, meltwater, or other sources of water flow over the land surface. This water then enters streams, rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water. Therefore, it is correct to say that runoff is connected with land as it involves the movement of water from the land to bodies of water.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

     The Water Cycle is also known as ___________.

    Correct Answer
    Hydrological Cycle
    Explanation
    The Water Cycle is also known as the Hydrological Cycle because it describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. This cycle involves processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff, which are all interconnected and contribute to the distribution and availability of water resources on the planet. The term "hydrological" refers to the study of water and its movement, making it an appropriate alternative name for the Water Cycle.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the  'water moving in the atmosphere' word?

    Correct Answer
    Evection
  • 9. 

    The Water Cycle _____ water.

    • Recycles

    • Kills

    • Saves

    • Extracts

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Recycles
    A. Saves
    Explanation
    The water cycle is a natural process that recycles and saves water. Through evaporation, water from oceans, rivers, and lakes is converted into vapor and rises into the atmosphere. Then, condensation occurs, forming clouds. Eventually, precipitation happens, and the water returns to the Earth's surface as rain or snow, replenishing bodies of water and groundwater sources. This continuous cycle ensures the availability and conservation of water resources.
