Which of the following sequence CORRECTLY represents the movement of water in nature?
Precipitation→ Runoff→ Evaporation
Evaporation→ Precipitation→ Condensation
Evaporation→ Condensation→ Precipitation
Condensation→ Precipitation→ Evaporation Question ID : 4410091982190 Option 1 ID : 4410097807576 Option 2 ID : 4410097807575 Option 3 ID : 4410097807577 Option 4 ID : 4410097807574 Status : Answered Chosen Option : C
Evaporation→ Condensation→ Precipitation
The hydrological cycle is a continuous process where water evaporates from oceans and surfaces due to solar energy, condenses in the atmosphere to form clouds, and falls back to Earth as precipitation. This cycle maintains the Earth's water balance and is driven primarily by solar radiation and gravity.

This cycle maintains the Earth's water balance and is driven primarily by solar radiation and gravity.
The Hydrological Cycle is a closed system described by the principle of Conservation of Mass, where the total water volume on Earth remains relatively constant over geological time.
Evaporation: Solar heat converts liquid water into water vapor.
Condensation: Water vapor cools and turns into tiny droplets, forming clouds.
Precipitation: Water falls to the Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Transpiration: The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, changing to vapor and released to the atmosphere.
Over 97 percent of Earth's water is stored in oceans, which serve as the primary source for atmospheric water vapor.
Sublimation is the process where ice and snow turn directly into water vapor without melting into liquid first.
Option B is incorrect because precipitation must follow condensation, as moisture needs to condense into cloud droplets before it can fall as rain.
Infiltration refers to the process by which precipitation soaks into the soil and replenishes groundwater aquifers.
C is correct — The hydrological cycle fundamentally begins with evaporation, followed by condensation into clouds, and terminates in precipitation.
In Geography exams, study the 'Infiltration' and 'Runoff' components of this cycle alongside 'Soil Types' and 'Groundwater Depletion' as they are frequently linked in current affairs-based ecology questions.
