(A) Floods - (V) Excess rain
When water from rivers flow into cropping fields and residential area, result in floods. Flood also happens due to excess rainfall.
(B) Groundwater - (I) Aquifers
The water from rain that falls on the earth's surface flows mainly into rivers and seas. But some of the water seeps through the ground and is available to us. This water is called groundwater and its reservoirs are called aquifers.
(C) Ocean - (II) Saltwater
Oceans cover more than 70 per cent of the Earth's surface and contain a large amount of saltwater.
(D) Precipitaion- (III) Rain
Precipitation is the process in which water vapours condense at higher altitudes to form tiny droplets which come together further to become large water droplets. These droplets collect and form clouds which may fall as rain, snow, or hail.
(E) Clouds - (IV) Dust and water vapour
Clouds are formed when water vapours in the air are combined with dust particles.
