The liquid that forms seas and lakes is water. Water is lifted from the surface of the Earth by evaporation. It then cools and through condensation forms clouds. These clouds when cooled further release their water as rain, sleet, hail or snow. It then falls back down to Earth and finds its way back to the sea through rivers. This process is called the water cycle.

Water is essential to life and without it all animals and plants would die. Seas are made up of saltwater, whereas rivers are mostly freshwater. Water can be solid (ice), liquid (the sea) and gaseous (steam from a boiling kettle). Pure water is tasteless and odorless.

This quiz tests what you know about the water cycle - from evaporation, through condensation and rainfall and then back to the seas and oceans.

1.
What is the process called when water turns into a gas and rises into the sky?
Evaporation
Corrosion
Distillation
Condensation
Sunshine and wind can both cause evaporation. That's how wet clothes dry on a washing line - the sun and wind evaporate the water in them
2.
What happens to the waste water from our homes?
It runs into rivers
It runs into the sea
It is cleaned at the sewage works
It soaks into the ground
The sewage works removes things like paper, fat, soap and human waste from the water
3.
Which water issue is NOT a problem that causes death for people around the world?
Garden hose ban
Drought
No clean water to drink
No sanitation
A hoepipe ban is a method we use to preserve water when there is a shortage
4.
What is the process called when the gas cools and forms clouds?
Evaporation
Corrosion
Distillation
Condensation
When water vapor cools it forms droplets. The mist formed if you breathe on a mirror or window is condensation
5.
Why can we NOT drink sea water?
It is dirty
It contains salt
It is needed by fish
It doesn’t taste nice

So the water company can charge us
To make it clear

In oceans
In rivers
In reservoirs

There are five oceans in the world
8.
What is caused by too much rain falling at once?
Drought
Rivers
Floods
Dirty water
Floods can cause rivers to burst their banks and cause devastation
9.
What is the cycle that ensures we do not run out of water?
Washing cycle
Carbon cycle
Water cycle
Life cycle
Water rises as vapor from the sea and the ground and forms as clouds. It then falls again as rain
10.
Which is NOT an essential use for water?
