Question

Which of the following is important in water cycle?

• A. Transpiration through leaves
• B. Evaporation from ocean
• C. Percolation of water into the ground
• D. Absorption of capillary water by plants

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Evaporation from ocean

Evaporation of water is the initial step in the water cycle. Evaporation of water from water bodies will result in the formation of water vapours, which is the only source of rain on Earth. This water then gets recycled on Earth and fills in the water bodies. This happens as a result of Sun's rays which are the ultimate source of energy on the Earth.
