    What is Water Cycle - ProProfs

    What is Water Cycle

    • Evaporation, condensation, precipitation

    • Precipitation, condensation, evaporation

    Correct Answer
    A. Evaporation, condensation, precipitation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is evaporation, condensation, precipitation. This is the correct sequence of events in the water cycle. Evaporation occurs when water changes from liquid to vapor and rises into the atmosphere. Condensation happens when the water vapor cools and forms clouds. Finally, precipitation occurs when the water droplets in the clouds become heavy and fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This process is essential for the continuous circulation of water on Earth.

    Explanation
    Water is unique because it lacks taste, shape, color, or smell. Unlike other substances, water is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. This unique property allows water to be a universal solvent and to easily mix with other substances. It also enables water to exist in three states - solid, liquid, and gas - making it essential for various natural processes and life on Earth.

    Why do plants need water ?

    • To make food

    • To keep it cold

    • To change colour

    Correct Answer
    A. To make food
    Explanation
    Plants need water to make food through a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use water, along with sunlight and carbon dioxide, to produce glucose, which is their source of energy. Water is essential for the plants to carry out this process and convert sunlight into chemical energy. Additionally, water helps in the transportation of nutrients and minerals from the soil to different parts of the plant. It also aids in maintaining the turgidity of plant cells, which is important for their structure and growth.

    Correct Answer
    A. Watering my plants.
    Explanation
    Watering plants is a practical way to conserve water when cleaning out a fish tank. Instead of pouring the water down the drain, which would be wasteful, using it to hydrate plants provides a useful purpose for the water. This helps to minimize water waste and promotes sustainability. Drinking the water would not be recommended as it may contain harmful substances for human consumption.
