Question

Clouds are formed because of ______.

• A. evaporation of water followed by sublimation
• B. condensation of water followed by sublimation.
• C. evaporation of water followed by condensation
• D. condensation of water followed by evaporation

Answer 1

The correct option is C

evaporation of water followed by condensation

Water evaporates from the surface of rivers, oceans, lakes.
Warm air rises up taking water vapour with it. As it goes up, it loses heat and the amount of water vapour air can hold decreases. This causes condensation of water and clouds are formed as bulks of suspended water droplets. These tiny water droplets appear as rain.
