  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  • The ultimate source of water is the water bodies which are present on earth which includes large oceans, seas, rivers, etc. Rain is only the way of water returning to their sources which they have lost by evaporation.
  • This rain is not an ultimate source of water .the ultimate source are the water bodies present on earth example large oceans, rivers etc
  • So, the correct answer is 'False'.

Choose the correct option. The total water

  1. In the lakes and rivers of the world remains constant.

  2. Under the ground remains constant.

  3. In the seas and oceans of the world remains constant.

  4. Of the world remains constant.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • The total water of the world remains constant because the water travels through a cycle and the net amount never changes. For example, The water which evaporates from various water bodies like lakes, rivers, ponds, etc form clouds and then they rain down filling up the same water bodies. They also go underground but in the end, they end up in a water body thus completing the water cycle.
  • Hence  The total water of the world remains constant.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Of the world remains constant'.
