Practice questions

1 of 50Practice questions for this set
A student uses a model with labeled energy sources:
  • Ocean → Clouds: evaporation (Sun's energy)
  • Clouds → Land surface: precipitation (gravity)
  • Land surface → Rivers: runoff (gravity)
  • Rivers → Ocean: river flow (gravity)
  • Land surface → Groundwater: infiltration (gravity)
  • Groundwater → Rivers: discharge (gravity) The model also states: "Energy enables movement but does not create water."
Which claim is not supported by the model?
