Detailed explanation-1: -Evapotranspiration also includes transpiration, which is the water movement from the soil to the atmosphere via plants. Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Precipitation, evaporation, freezing and melting and condensation are all part of the hydrological cycle-a never-ending global process of water circulation from clouds to land, to the ocean, and back to the clouds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sedimentation is not a part of the water cycle. It is a process in which insoluble solid particles settle at the bottom.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants occurring at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis.
