Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
On Earth, water cycles through the atmosphere, oceans, land and organisms. By what process does most of the water in plants return to the environment?
A
evaporation from roots
B
evaporation from leaves
C
condensation on the leaves
D
diffusion from the roots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Studies have revealed that evaporation-the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas-from oceans, seas, and other bodies of water (lakes, rivers, streams) provides nearly 90% of the moisture in our atmosphere. Most of the remaining 10% found in the atmosphere is released by plants through transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evaporation and transpiration transform liquid water into vapor, which ascends into the atmosphere due to rising air currents. Cooler temperatures aloft allow the vapor to condense into clouds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evaporation is the process that changes liquid water to gaseous water (water vapor). Water moves from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere via evaporation. Evaporation occurs when energy (heat) forces the bonds that hold water molecules together to break.
