Question

Identify the correct order of the different processes that takes place during water cycle.

• A. Evaporation $\to$ Condensation $\to$ Precipitation
• B. Precipitation $\to$ Evaporation $\to$ Condensation
• C. Condensation $\to$ Evaporation $\to$ Precipitation
• D. Precipitation $\to$ Condensation $\to$ Evaporation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Evaporation $\to$ Condensation $\to$ Precipitation

- During water cycle, water (liquid state) from water bodies are heated up and gets converted into water vapours (gaseous state). This process is known as evaporation.
- These vapours rise in the air and condense to form clouds. This process is known as condensation.
- Water droplets in the clouds fall on earth's surface in the form of rain, snow and hailstones. This process is known as precipitation.
