Answer 1

The correct option is A

water on land and sea$\to$ evaporation $\to$water vapor $\to$ clouds$\to$ rain

Explanation:

• The water cycle represents the movement of water in our earth's atmosphere.
• The liquid water present on land and sea evaporates into water vapour and then condenses to form clouds.
• Clouds fall back to earth in the form of rain, hail, or snow.

Hence, option (A) is the correct answer. The water cycle represents water on land and sea $\to$evaporation$\to$ water vapour clouds$\to$ rain.
