Question

Which part of the water cycle is most affected by a sunny day with few clouds?

Answer 1

Increase in evaporation

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Increase in evaporation

Explanation

The water cycle is a series of physicochemical processes that allow water to pass through different states of matter such as solids, liquids, and gases. In general, the water begins its cycle evaporating when it is exposed to the sun's rays or at high temperatures, in this process the water changes from a liquid to a gaseous state and loses density which causes it to rise towards the sky. Subsequently, the water already in the sky, is suspended and forms clouds, when the clouds contain many water particles, they condense, that is, the water changes its state from gaseous to liquid, at the same time, by its weight the water, it rushes to the ground by gravity. Finally, when it precipitates, water returns to water sources such as rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans, or forms puddles that will then be evaporated by the sun's rays. According to the above, the part of the water cycle that would be most affected by a sunny day would be the first part when the water is evaporating, since at a higher level of sun rays the water will evaporate faster. So, the correct answer is B. Increase in evaporation
