Multiple choice evs sources of water and water cycle groundwater and depletion of water table rain: where does it come from availability and forms of water the water cycle

The freshwater stored in the ground is much more than that present in the rivers and lakes of the world.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand, and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through geologic formations of soil, sand, and rocks called aquifers.
  • Groundwater is the source of about 33 % of the water that county and city water departments supply to households and businesses (public supply).
  • Hence The freshwater stored in the ground is much more than that present in the rivers and lakes of the world is a true statement.
  • So, the correct answer is 'True'.

In water cycle, the maximum vaporization takes place:

  1. from oceans

  2. from rivers

  3. from streams

  4. from plants
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

86% of global evaporation occurs from the ocean due to its large surface area which directly comes in contact with sun rays and gives maximum vaporisation.


Hence, option A is correct.

Which of the following is not naturally occurring form of water?

  1. Solid

  2. Liquid

  3. Vapour

  4. Semi-solid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Water exists in liquid form upto  $100^0$C , at 100$^0$C it exists as vapour and at 4$^0$C it exists in solid form  as ice. So water exists in all the states or forms except semisolid, jelly state

So, the correct answer is 'Semi-solid'

Rainfall patterns depend on

  1. The underground water table

  2. The number of water bodies in an area

  3. The density pattern of human population in an area

  4. The prevailing season in an area.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Rainfall pattern will depend on number of water bodies in an area, as there will be large water bodies, (ocean, river) the rate of evaporation would be high, which will help to cause rain in the area.

More than 70% of world's fresh water is contained in

  1. Antarctica

  2. Polar ice

  3. Glaciers and Mountains

  4. Greenland
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
More than 70% of world's fresh water is contained in Polar ice. These polar ice are present in the form of two sheets in Antartica and Greenland.
So, the correct answer is 'Polar ice'.
