Question

Water evaporates into the air from oceans, rivers, and lakes but not from the soil.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Evaporation:

• It is a process in which a phase transition occurs from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase.

Evaporation of water:

• Evaporation is the primary way that water changes from the liquid phase i..e water into the gaseous phase i.e. water vapor in the water cycle.
• After the rainfall, evaporation of water can takes place from the upper layer of the soil.
• Most of the water that evaporates from the oceans falls back into the oceans in the form of precipitation.

Thus, the given statement- “Water evaporates into the air from oceans, rivers, and lakes but not from the soil” is a false statement.
