Where does the energy to drive the water cycle come from?
A
Earth’s interior
B
The sun
C
Plate tectonics
D
Photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The heat from sun makes the water from earth’s surface to evaporate. Water vapour formed as a result travels upward and then condense to form water droplets. These water droplets form clouds and later precipitate as rain when they get heavy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The water cycle is powered by heat energy from the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sun is what makes the water cycle work. The sun provides what almost everything on Earth needs to go-energy, or heat.

Detailed explanation-4: -When energy from the Sun reaches the Earth, it warms the atmosphere, land, and ocean and evaporates water. The movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere to the land and back to the ocean-the water cycle-is fueled by energy from the Sun. Changes in the energy cycle will ripple into the water cycle.
