Class–VI (CHAPTER-14) WATER, Answers, , 1., , Fill up the blanks in the following:, (a) The process of changing or water into its vapour is called evaporation., (b) The process of changing water vapour into water is called condensation., (c) No rainfall for a year or more may lead to drought in that region., (d) Excessive rains may cause Floods., , 2., , (a) Condensation., (b) Evaporation, (c) Condensation, (d) Evaporation, (e) Evaporation, , 3., , (a), , F, , (b), , F, , (c), , T, , (d), , F, , (e), , T, , 4., , Spreading it near heater or anghiti will help because due to more heat around,, evaporation will be faster., , 5., , The cold surface of cooled air around it, and the water vapour of the air condenses, on the surface of the bottle., , 6., , The moist air coming out form mouth condenses on glasses to make glasses wet., , 7., , The process of condensation plays an important role in formation of cloud. As water, vapour goes higher from the surface of the earth, it gets cooler. When the air moves, up, it gets cooler and cooler. At sufficient heights the air becomes so cool that the, water vapour present in it condenses to form tiny water droplets. It is these tiny, droplets that remain floating in air and appear to us as clouds., , 8., , If it does not rain for one or two years, the soil continuous to lose water by, evaporation and transpiration. Since, it is not being brought back by rain, the soil, becomes dry. The level of water in ponds and wells of the region goes down and, some of them may even dry up. The ground water may also become scare. This may, lead to drought.
