Question

Which sequence of processes transports water from the atmosphere to the ocean and then back into a cloud?

precipitation ® condensation ® transpiration
evaporation ® condensation ® sublimation
precipitation ® evaporation ® condensation
evaporation ® precipitation ® condensation

Answer 1

C is the correct answer. Good luck and have a nice day.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C, precipitation ® evaporation ® condensation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three steps involved in the transportation of water from atmosphere to cloud -

a) Water from atmosphere is received by earth in the form of precipitation such as rain , snow, hail etc, Thus, precipitation causes water from atmosphere to reach the earth.

b) In the evaporation phase water receives heat from sun and starts evaporating. Evaporation causes the liquid water (on earth) to convert into gaseous phase and rise to the atmosphere.

c) Once the water in gaseous form reaches the atmosphere, it starts condensing into cloud due to sudden fall down of temperature.
