Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.53 Water Cycle (Review and Connection) skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Use the model of ocean, Sun, cloud, mountain, stream, and delta. Which complete explanation is most accurate?
AClouds make ocea water appear only after erosion has already created rain
BWater collects first in the sky, then the Sun turns soil into rivers
CPrecipitation stops the water cycle once water reaches land
DSun warms surface water so it evaporates, cooler air causes condensation into clouds, precipitation falls, water collects in streams and oceans, and runoff can erode land along the way
Solution & Explanation:This explanation correctly includes the major water cycle stages and also explains how runoff after precipitation can cause erosion.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A principal wants to reduce erosion on a school slope without stopping the natural water cycle. Which plan is best?
Acover the slope with loose sand and remove all plants
Bput a roof over the hill so no water can ever land there
Cplant ground cover and guide runoff with stones or shallow channels
Dpaint the slope dark blue to make more clouds
Solution & Explanation:Plant cover and guided runoff help reduce erosion while still allowing rain, collection, and evaporation to continue naturally.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Study the integrated diagram of ocean, cloud, rain, hillside, and muddy stream. Which statement best explains what the diagram shows?
AOnly evaporation matters because land never changes
BThe water cycle can lead to weather and, after precipitation, moving water can cause erosion
CClouds are made of dry air with no liquid water
DErosion happens before water ever falls from clouds
Solution & Explanation:The diagram connects water cycle stages to weather and shows that runoff after precipitation can erode land.
