Question

Which of these represents the water cycle correctly?
(a) water on land and sea → evaporation → water vapour → clouds → rain
(b) water on land and sea → condensation → clouds → rain → ground water
(c) water on land and sea → evaporation → rain → clouds

Solution

(a) water on land and sea → evaporation → water vapour → clouds → rain

The water from water bodies gets evaporated due to heat and forms water vapours in the air. Water vapours form clouds. When clouds cannot hold more water, it comes down as rain.
