In the hydrologic cycle, _____ occurs from the water surface as well as from land surface.

  • A.Evaporation
  • B.Precipitation
  • C.Transpiration
  • D.Runoff

Answer: A

The process is Evaporation.

Evaporation turns liquid water into vapour, and it takes place from open water surfaces (oceans, lakes, rivers, reservoirs) as well as from moist land and soil surfaces, which is exactly what the question describes.

Transpiration is loss of water through plant leaves, not from water or bare land surfaces. Precipitation falls from the atmosphere, and runoff flows over the land; neither occurs 'from' a water surface.
