Question:

Which of the following statements is correct?

Options:

Water is a cyclic resource.

Water has only one state.

Water a non-renewable resource.

Water is a biotic resource.

Correct Answer:

Water is a cyclic resource.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) – Water is a cyclic resource.

Explanation:

Water is indeed a cyclic resource because it undergoes various natural processes that continuously recycle it within the Earth's ecosystems. The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, involves processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and infiltration. Water evaporates from bodies of water and land surfaces, forms clouds, and eventually falls back to the Earth's surface as precipitation (rain, snow, etc.). This water then replenishes rivers, lakes, groundwater, and oceans, where the cycle continues. Therefore, water moves in a continuous cycle, perpetually renewing itself and sustaining life on Earth.
