Q63: What initiate the water cycle?
Sun
Moon
Clouds
Oceans
View Answer

On cold, gray days even when it's too cold for snow to melt, glacial ice will eventually sublime into the air as water vapor. Glaciers experience a particular form of sublimation called ablation. Ablation is the process wherein the snow and ice of the glacier slowly begins to turn into vapor.
Q65: Transpiration occurs
When ice melts
When water evaporate from the vessel
When water evaporate from the plants
When plants sheds their leaves
View Answer
Ans: c.
Plants take in water from the soil to prepare their own food and also for other life processes. They release excess water into air in the form of water vapour by the process of transpiration.
Q66: Process in which water vapor cools into a liquid is called
Condensation
Transpiration
Sublimation
Precipitation
View Answer
Ans: a.
The evaporated water is carried away by warm air. As the warm air moves higher from the surface of the Earth, it starts to cool down. This water vapour condenses to form tiny water droplets which float in air to form clouds or fog.
