Question

Water in atmosphere is recharged through which one of the following process?

• A. Carbon cycle
• B. Nitrogen cycle
• C. Hydrological cycle
• D. Hydrogen cycle

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Hydrological cycle

Water in atmosphere is recharged through hydrological cycle. In hydrological cycle, water is evaporated from the surface of the ocean. As moist air is lifted, it cools and clouds are formed by condensation of water vapors. These clouds transfer this water to ground through rains. Groundwater either seeps its way to into the oceans, rivers, and streams, or is released back into the atmosphere through transpiration. This cycle keeps repeating itself to keep balance of water.
