Question

Identify the correct sequence of stages in the water cycle:

• A. Evaporation, condensation, precipitation
• B. Condensation, precipitation, evaporation
• C. Evaporation, precipitation, condensation
• D. Precipitation, evaporation, condensation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Evaporation, condensation, precipitation

There are 3 main stages involved in the water cycle i.e. evaporation, condensation and precipitation. The water cycle starts with evaporation, where water is converted into water vapour form, followed by condensation, where water vapour converts into liquid form, and finally precipitation, where liquid water falls from the sky in form of rain, snow, hail, etc.

Hence, the answer is option A.
