The sun hits bodies of water (ponds, oceans, pools, puddles) and it evaporates into a gas known as water vapor which goes up and forms a cloud. When the cloud gets heavy the water condensates back into little droplets and falls back to the ground. This is rain.
Prevailing winds are the planetary winds that are caused by the formation of giant convection cells over the earth. Prevailing winds blow from the hot regions of the earth, like the tropics, to the cold areas of the earth, like the temperate or polar regions, and from the cold areas back to the hotter regions.
Hi!
The majority of Earth is covered in water. So, we can immediately eliminate A and B.
After looking at the statistics, the United States Geological Survey has determined 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water!
Hopefully, this helps! =)
