Each Point: 1 Mark each.

(i)Evaporation is a slow process by which water gets converted from the liquid state to the gaseous state. In water cycle, evaporation is an important process for the formation of water vapours. So, "Evaporation” matches with "Generation of water vapours”.

(ii)Infiltration is the process by which ground water gets recharged, so it matches with "Recharging of ground water”.

(iii)Condensation is the process by which water gets converted from gaseous state to liquid state. In water cycle, condensation is responsible for formation of clouds. So, it matches with "Formation of water”.

(iv)Drip irrigation is a method for conservation of water. So, it matches with it in column 2.

(v)Precipitation is responsible for transfer of water from clouds to the ground. So, it matches with" transfer of water from atmosphere".

Q. Which of these represents the water cycle correctly?
(a) water on land and sea → evaporation → water vapour → clouds → rain
(b) water on land and sea → condensation → clouds → rain → ground water
(c) water on land and sea → evaporation → rain → clouds

Define water cycle. Rearrange the steps of a water cycle to get the correct sequence. [3 MARKS]

i. Water evaporates from the water reservoirs present on land.
ii. Water exists in the form of water vapours in the atmosphere.
iii. Condensation of the water droplets converts them into clouds.
iv. Rainwater again flows into different forms of water reservoirs on land.
v. When the clouds become big and heavy they fall down as rain.
vi. Water vapours, due to cooling, form droplets using dust particles as nuclei.
