B Correct answer
Explanation

Water cycle refers to constant movement of water from ocean to land and back to ocean again.It happen when water changes from water vapor in the atmosphere to liquid water through condensation and precipitation and falls on land and via channels and river flows back to ocean and then back to water vapor through evaporation, transpiration, and respiration. 

so, the correct option is B. ( Constant movement of water from ocean to land and back to ocean again )

  2. Evaporation

  3. Evapo-transpiration

  4. Biosphere

B Correct answer
Explanation

Water enters the atmosphere primarily through evaporation from water bodies and transpiration from plants. Together, these processes are known as evapotranspiration, but evaporation is the most fundamental term for water entering the atmosphere from the surface.

What type of reactions occurring inside the sun produced solar energy?

  1. nuclear fusion reactions

  2. nuclear fission reactions

  3. nucleophilic substitution reactions

  4. electrophilic addition reactions
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Energy obtained by the Sun in form of heat and light is due to the nuclear reaction: fusion reaction taking place in the Sun. Hydrogen atoms collide to combine with each other to form a heavier molecule Helium, this results in release of a large amount of energy.
