Question

Rain is the ultimate source of water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Source of Water

1. The ultimate source of water is the water bodies which are present on the earth which includes large oceans, seas, rivers, etc.
2. Rain is only the way of water returning to their sources, which they have lost by evaporation.
3. Rain is stored in clouds, which are huge, dense masses of water molecules. It gets there because it evaporates off the earth, into the clouds.
4. The rain is not an ultimate source of water, the ultimate source of water bodies present on earth are large oceans, rivers etc.

Therefore, rain is not a source of water, it's one of the stages of the life cycle of water. Hence this statement is false.
