Question

Based on your understanding of the hydrologic cycle and oceans, pick the correct statement from the choices below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Neither A nor B is correct

Explanation:

Hydrologic cycle is the sequence of different conditions through which the water passes from oceans to clouds, precipitates as rains, comes to the rivers and finally reaches the ocean.

This first statement in the question said that water will end up in the river which is not true because water from the river ultimately ends in the oceans because all the rivers terminate in the oceans finally.

The second statement is also wrong because when water from one ocean vaporizes and becomes cloud, it can travel large distances as clouds in the effect of wind and thus may get precipitated in the form of rain in some other part of the world. So, it is not necessary that the water will end up in the same ocean.
