B Correct answer
Explanation

Evaporation is the phase transition where liquid water gains enough energy to become water vapor. Transpiration is a specific biological form of evaporation from plants, while condensation is the reverse process.

Which of the following process in the water cycle takes place due to rapid cooling of air?

  1. Condensation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Precipitation

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Condensation occurs when water vapor cools down and loses energy, transitioning back into liquid droplets. Rapid cooling of air reduces its capacity to hold water vapor, forcing it to condense.

Identify the correct sequence of stages in the water cycle.

  1. Evaporation, condensation, precipitation

  2. Condensation, precipitation, evaporation

  3. Evaporation, precipitation, condensation

  4. Precipitation, evaporation, condensation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Answer is option A i.e. "Evaporation, condensation, precipitation"
There are 3 main stages involved in water cycle i.e. evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff. The water cycle starts with evaporation followed by condensation where water vapor converts int liquid water and finally precipitation where liquid water falls from sky in form of rains, snow, hail, etc.
