Water cycle

As a part of the water cycle, water from Earth's surface enters the clouds and finally falls back to the ground in the form of rain. What is the correct sequence of processes water undergoes?

• Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation

• Precipitation, Condensation, Evaporation

• Condensation, Evaporation, Precipitation

• Evaporation, Precipitation, Condensation

What would happen if the Sun is removed from the water cycle?

• The water cycle would not include precipitation but would continue with groundwater flow.

• The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration.

• The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides energy for the formation of clouds.

• The water cycle would not include evaporation and transpiration but would continue with condensation.

After condensation, the droplets of water in the clouds fall to the earth in different forms

• precipitation 
• condensation
• evaporation 
• ground water

Forms of precipitation are-

• only sleet and snow
• rain, sleet, hail, and snow
• only dew and rain 
• only snow and rain

Precipitation occurs because 

• the droplets evaporate in the air
• the droplets are too light for the air to hold
• the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold

What follows evaporation during the water cycle? How does this occur?

• Water evaporates into water vapor
• Water vapor condenses and forms a  cloud
• Water precipitates to the ground
• Water runs down into the hydrosphere
