Solution
The correct option is D Sedimentation
The water cycle is shown below -
- Due to heat, water from water bodies convert to water vapour. This process is called evaporation.
- Plants lose water to the air through a process called transpiration.
- As the water vapours rise up, temperature reduces and water vapours convert back to liquid water and form clouds. This process is called condensation.
- When the clouds containing water droplets become heavy, they fall down in the form of rain. This is called precipitation.
Sedimentation is not a part of the water cycle. It is a process in which insoluble solid particles settle at the bottom.
