Which of the following is NOT part of the water cycle?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: Option (D)

Explanation: In the water cycle, water is transported from the oceans, seas and lakes to the atmosphere, which then again falls back due to precipitation.

       Plants also absorbs water by their roots and releases back into the atmosphere by evapo-transpiration process. Some of the water gets percolated into the ground and gets mixes up with the groundwater.

     Thus all the provided options fulfills the condition for water cycle except the last one, i.e dissolution of CO₂ in the ground water or the land surface is not considered to be a part of water cycle.

Hence the correct answer is option (D).

Q.3 What would be the economic impact if a stopped importing goods and commodities?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

If a certain nation decided to stop importing goods and commodities, it would have an almost immediate negative impact on its economy. Thus, from this brake, the supply of goods that were originally imported would be significantly reduced, with which they would drastically increase their value, thereby increasing inflation in the country.

In addition, citizens could not easily access these goods, which could produce social consequences (such as lack of medicines, for example).

On the other hand, the producing nations of these goods would impose trade restrictions on the nation, which would reduce the benefits of trade, increasing the country's fiscal deficit.
