Water cycle - class-VII

Attempted 0/26 Correct 0 Score 0

Water evaporates into air from oceans, rivers and lakes but not from the soil.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Soil also contains water, so evaporation also takes place from the soil.

The process by which water change into water vapour is called as

  1. Transpiration

  2. Evaporation

  3. Condensation

  4. Precipitation


Correct Option: B

Which of the following process in the water cycle takes place due to rapid cooling of air?

  1. Condensation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Precipitation

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A

Identify the correct sequence of stages in the water cycle.

  1. Evaporation, condensation, precipitation

  2. Condensation, precipitation, evaporation

  3. Evaporation, precipitation, condensation

  4. Precipitation, evaporation, condensation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Answer is option A i.e. "Evaporation, condensation, precipitation"
There are 3 main stages involved in water cycle i.e. evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff. The water cycle starts with evaporation followed by condensation where water vapor converts int liquid water and finally precipitation where liquid water falls from sky in form of rains, snow, hail, etc.

Which of the following is an advantage of occurrence of the water cycle? 

  1. Recharging of ground water

  2. Recharging of water bodies

  3. Sufficient rainfall

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D

Which of the following process is responsible for the smoke-like vapour which comes out of the mouth in winter?

  1. Precipitation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Condensation

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • When you exhale when it's cold outside, the water vapour in your breath condenses into lots of tiny droplets of liquid water and ice (solid water) that you can see in the air as a cloud, similar to fog which appears smoke like. This process is called condensation.
  • Hence Condensation process is responsible for the smoke-like vapour which comes out of the mouth in winter.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Condensation'.

The water vapour which enters into air to form clouds in the sky are obtained by which of the following process?

  1. Condensation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Precipitation

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.
  • By the process of evaporation, the water vapour enters into the air to form clouds in the sky. 
  • The water vapour in the air condenses to form tiny water droplets which are the basis of clouds.
  • Hence the process by which water vapour enters into the air to form clouds in the sky is Evaporation.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Evaporation'.

Fog that most often forms as warm rain falls into a cold layer of surface air is called:

  1. Radiation fog

  2. Evaporation (mixing) fog

  3. Advection fog

  4. Upslope fog


Correct Option: B

When water changes from a liquid to a vapor, we call this process:

  1. Freezing

  2. Condensation

  3. Sublimation

  4. Evaporation


Correct Option: D

The processes of condensation and freezing:

  1. Both release sensible heat into the environment

  2. Both absorb sensible heat from the environment

  3. Do not affect the temperature of their surroundings

  4. Do not involve energy transport


Correct Option: A

Evaporation is a _____________ process.

  1. Cooling

  2. Heating

  3. Can't tell - it depends on the temperature

  4. Both a and c


Correct Option: A

When the air temperature is below freezing, the saturation vapor pressure over water is.

  1. Equal to zero

  2. Less than the saturation vapor pressure over ice

  3. Greater than the saturation vapor pressure over ice

  4. Equal to the saturation vapor pressure over ice


Correct Option: C

What would be temperature of gaseous hydrocarbon in condensation?

  1. Higher temperature

  2. Lower temperature

  3. Normal temperature

  4. Extremely high temperature


Correct Option: B

What dissolved gases in atmosphere during water falling?

  1. Evapo-transpiration

  2. Condensation

  3. Precipitation

  4. Transpiration


Correct Option: C

The opposite of evaporation is

  1. Transpiration

  2. Condensation

  3. Precipitation

  4. Freezing


Correct Option: B

The continuous process by which water moves from form to another is called as

  1. Condensation

  2. Water cycle

  3. Nutrient cycle

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B

A glass of water with some pieces of ice in it, after some time, small drops of water forms on the outer surface of the glass. This process is called as

  1. Evaporation

  2. Precipetation

  3. Condensation

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C

Drying of wet clothes is done by the process of condensation.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B

The rate of evaporation depends on

  1. Temperature

  2. Volume of water

  3. Wind movement

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A

Water cycle refers to

  1. Scientific management of water in areas excessively plagued with water logging.

  2. Constant movement of water from ocean to land and back to ocean again

  3. An integrated attempt to recycle water in relatively arid regions

  4. Planning of water distribution in relatively dry areas.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Water cycle refers to constant movement of water from ocean to land and back to ocean again.It happen when water changes from water vapor in the atmosphere to liquid water through condensation and precipitation and falls on land and via channels and river flows back to ocean and then back to water vapor through evaporation, transpiration, and respiration. 

so, the correct option is B. ( Constant movement of water from ocean to land and back to ocean again )

Condensation nuclei may be:

  1. Particles of dust

  2. Nitric acid particles

  3. Smoke from forest fires

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D

The total mass of water vapor stored in the atmosphere at any moment is about ____________ of the world's supply of precipitation.

  1. 1 day

  2. 1 week

  3. 1 month

  4. 1 year


Correct Option: B

  1. Calcification

  2. Fixation

  3. Precipitation

  4. Accumulation


Correct Option: C

What causes gases to dissolve in atmosphere?

  1. Transpiration

  2. Precipitation

  3. Condensation
