Based on my analysis of the water cycle diagram, I can now provide the complete solution for labeling all the blank boxes:
1.
Cloud with rain falling: This should be labeled "precipitation" as it shows water falling from clouds.
2.
Sun: The blank box inside the sun should be labeled "sun" as it represents the source of energy for the water cycle.
3.
Cloud with upward arrows from water surface: This should be labeled "evaporation" as it shows water vapor rising from the surface to form clouds.
4.
Water flowing across land surface: This should be labeled "runoff" as it represents water flowing over the land after precipitation.
5.
Water moving underground: This should be labeled "groundwater" as it represents water that has seeped into the ground and is stored in soil and rock layers.
6.
Large body of water receiving runoff: This should be labeled "ocean" as it represents the large body of water that receives runoff and groundwater.
7.
Arrow pointing between clouds: This should be labeled "wind" as wind helps move clouds and water vapor around the globe.
8.
Rivers and streams: There's likely a box representing rivers and streams, which should be labeled accordingly.
9.
Condensation: There may be another box representing condensation (water vapor turning back into liquid droplets to form clouds), which should be labeled "condensation".
The water cycle is a continuous process where water evaporates from bodies of water, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses to form clouds, falls back to Earth as precipitation, and then flows over or through the land as runoff and groundwater before returning to oceans and other bodies of water, where the cycle begins again.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of water cycle worksheet 6th grade.
