Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What drives the water cycle?
A
the sun
B
the wind
C
precipitation
D
condensation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Energy from the sun causes water on the surface to evaporate into water vapor – a gas. This invisible vapor rises into the atmosphere, where the air is colder, and condenses into clouds. Air currents move these clouds all around the earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -When water at the ocean’s surface is heated by the Sun it gains energy. With enough energy, the molecules of liquid water change into water vapor and move into the air. This process is called evaporation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sunlight causes evaporation and propels oceanic and atmospheric circulation, which transports water around the globe. Gravity causes precipitation to fall from clouds and water to flow downward on the land through watersheds.
