Scavenger+Hunt



=Rules = ===This scavenger hunt focuses on the water cycle. For each question below, follow the link provided to answer the question or fill in the blank. Be sure to read the questions and sites carefully. ===

The Water Cycle
1. Follow THIS link to fill in the following blank. The water cycle, also known as the (blank) cycle, involves the cycling of water through the biosphere.

2. Follow THIS link to fill in the following blanks. The water cycle is the (blank) movement of the water from ocean to air and land then back to the ocean in a (blank) pattern.

3. According to THIS site, how many gallons of water are above a person living in the United States on an average day? ???

Evaporation
4. Follow THIS link to help find the correct answer to the following question. Which of the following is a factor that affects the rate of evaporation in The Water Cycle? A) Temperature B) Humidity C) Wind Speed D) All of the above

5. Follow THIS link to help fill in the following blank. The energy used to evaporate water is called energy.

6. Follow THIS link to determine whether the following statement is TRUE or FALSE. *HINT:Select the "V for Vapor" sign. Aside from oceans and lakes, plants, trees, and land help contribute vapor during The Water Cycle because they lose water too. True or False?

Condensation
7. According to THIS website, condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. True or false?

8. Follow THIS link to fill in the blanks below: Condensation is the change of water from its ( blank ) form into ( blank ) water.

9. Follow THIS link to fill in the blanks below: Condensation is brought about by cooling of the ( blank ) or by increasing the amount of ( blank ) in the air to its saturation point.

Precipitation
10. Follow THIS link to help name three types of precipitation. 1. 2. 3.

11. Use THIS link to determine which of these does NOT affect precipitation in an area: A.) Mountains B.) Proximity to oceans C.) Wind D.) Canyons

12. Use THIS link to choose the correct answer. How many cloud droplets are needed to create a single raindrop? A.) Less than one hundred B.) Thousands C.) Millions D.) Hundreds

Runoff
13. Follow THIS link to fill in the following blank. Runoff is the process of water (blank) the land surface.

14. Use THIS link to determine if the following statement is True or False: There are two types of runoff, surface and subsurface.

15. According to THIS site, runoff helps to fill and replenish: A.) pools, fountains, and water slides B.) faucets, taps, and sinks C.) lakes, rivers, and aquifers D.) pitchers, glasses, and bowls

**Transpiration**
16. According to THIS site, transpiration is the (blank) process in the water cycle.

17. According to THIS site, transpiration is the process that: a. people sweat when going outside. b. plants lose water out of their leaves. c. pools loose water.

18. Use THIS site to determine True or False: One of the main factors that will determine a transpiration rate is temperature.

19. Use THIS site to determine True or False: The type of plant does not matter in terms of transpiration rate.
