Question

Clouds are formed because of ______.

• A. Consecutive condensation and evaporation of water.
• B. Consecutive decantation and sublimation of water.
• C. Consecutive evaporation and sublimation of water
• D. Consecutive filtration and evaporation of water.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Consecutive condensation and evaporation of water.

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.
