Detailed explanation-1: -Water evaporates from within soils and through vegetation and from bodies of water (such as rivers, lakes and oceans). This evaporated water accumulates as water vapour in clouds and returns to the Earth as rain or snow. The returning water falls directly back into the oceans, or onto land as snow or rain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water at the surface of the ocean, rivers, and lakes can become water vapor and move into the atmosphere with a little added energy from the Sun through a process called evaporation. Snow and ice can also turn into water vapor, which is a process known as sublimation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Evaporation shows interactions between the hydrosphere and atmosphere because it is the reason that water leaves the hydrosphere and enters the atmosphere as a part of the water cycle. The hydrosphere is all of the bodies of water on Earth, including oceans, lakes and rivers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Evaporation and transpiration change liquid water into vapor, which ascends into the atmosphere due to rising air currents.

Detailed explanation-5: -Water in the atmosphere condenses to form clouds, which can then form rain, snow, or hail and return to the Earth’s surface. Water that comes back to Earth can be stored where it lands (in an ocean) or it can flow above-ground (river), or it can infiltrate the soil and move underground (as groundwater).
