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).

Por favor ayúdenme a contestar estas pregunta cada una de 80 palabras por lo menos ¿Crees estar inserto en un mundo globalizado?
diamong [38]

Answer:

1- Efectivamente, hoy en día nos encontramos viviendo en un mundo globalizado, ya que se trata de un sistema mundial interconectado, donde todas las sociedades y gobiernos tienen una comunicación fluida y constante entre sí en forma rápida y dinámica. Esto se ha logrado a través del desarrollo de los medios de comunicación, que permiten la conectividad a gran escala.

2- Un aspecto positivo de la globalización en mi vida personal es que el desarrollo de las comunicaciones y las tecnologías me permite poder comunicarme con personas de mi familia que viven en otro país a decenas de miles de kilómetros de distancia, con solo apretar un botón y esperar tan sólo unos pocos segundos. Es decir, la globalización acorta las distancias y reduce los tiempos, uniendo más a las personas y, por ende, a los pueblos y países.

3- Un efecto negativo de la globalización es que todos los eventos políticos y sociales que ocurren en un país tienen repercusión en los demás países. Por ejemplo, una ley en los Estados Unidos puede influir en el desarrollo del comercio en Latinoamérica, influyendo negativamente en las economías de países con menor desarrollo, pudiendo causar problemas económicos a estos.
