Question

The water cycle does not involve evaporation and condensation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.
2. Condensation: The water vapour that accumulated in the atmosphere eventually cools down due to the low temperatures found at high altitudes. These vapours become tiny droplets of water and ice, eventually coming together to form clouds.
3. Evaporation: The water from seas, oceans, lakes, etc absorbs heat energy from the sun and gets changed to water vapour at any temperature.
4. Thus from the above statement, we see that both evaporation and condensation are involved in the water cycle.

Hence the given statement is false.
