Water is the only substance on Earth that is present in all three states of matter – as a solid, liquid or gas. (And Earth is the only planet where water is abundantly present in all three states.

  • a)
    Ground water
  • b)
    Sea water
  • c)
    Glacial water
  • d)
    Ocean water
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arjun Desai answered
About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. Water also exists in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers, and even in you and your dog. Water is never sitting still.

Evaporation of water takes place faster in
  • a)
    Temperate condition
  • b)
    Humid condition
  • c)
    Hot condition
  • d)
    Cold condition
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Arshiya Mehta answered
The water molecules move rapidly when the water is heated. This makes the molecules escape faster. Higher temperatures lead to increase in vaporization as more molecules get kinetic energy to convert into vapor. For example, boiling water evaporates faster than fresh tap water.

In early winter mornings, we can see drops of water on the grass. This is because of
  • a)
    photosynthesis.
  • b)
    transpiration.
  • c)
    condensation.
  • d)
    water cycle.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Janhavi Kumar answered
Due to the sunrays, the water vapour present in the atmosphere condenses to form dew drops which fall on the blades of grass, leaves of plants etc., during early winter mornings.

Water is a /an
  • a)
    Solution
  • b)
    Element
  • c)
    Compound
  • d)
    Mixture
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aruna Singh answered
A compound forms whenever two or more atoms form chemical bonds with each other. The chemical formula for water is H2O, which means each molecule of water consists of one oxygen atom chemically bonded to two hydrogen atoms. Thus, water is a compound.

Rain is also known as
  • a)
    Condensation
  • b)
    Transpiration
  • c)
    Precipitation
  • d)
    Evaporation
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjali Kapoor answered
Rain is when water falls from clouds in droplets that are bigger than 0.5 mm. Droplets of water that are about 0.2mm to 0.45mm big are called drizzle. Rain is a kind of precipitation. Precipitation is any kind of water that falls from clouds in the sky, like rain, hail, sleet and snow. precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail. Precipitation occurs when a portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapor, so that the water condenses and "precipitates". Thus, fog and mist are not precipitation but suspensions, because the water vapor does not condense sufficiently to precipitate. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. Precipitation forms as smaller droplets coalesce via collision with other rain drops or ice crystals within a cloud. Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called "showers.

Water is __________ of hydrogen and oxygen element.
  • a)
    Mixture
  • b)
    Solution
  • c)
    Suspension
  • d)
    Compound
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Water is compound and not mixture. Its because compounds are always formed in definite ratio of constituent elements. To say it more simply, when two atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen react together, they form one molecule of Water.

The process of changing water vapour into water is called
  • a)
    Condensation
  • b)
    Sedimentation
  • c)
    Evaporation
  • d)
    Boiling
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arshiya Mehta answered
Condensation is the change of physical state of matter from gaseous phase into liquid phase. It is a process in which water vapor (gaseous form) in the air changes into liquid water when it touches a cooler surface. When water in the air comes in contact with a cold surface, it condenses to form water droplets. This phenomenon is known as condensation. The reverse of condensation is evaporation.

The purest form of water is
  • a)
    Rain water
  • b)
    Subsoil water
  • c)
    Spring water
  • d)
    Hand pump water
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aruna Singh answered
Rain water is considered the purest form of water. Impurities and salts present in water on earth are left behind during vaporisation by the sun. However, the rain water we receive on earth is not necessarily pure, as it brings down impurities and particles present in the atmosphere along with it.

Which one is a common source of drinking water?
  • a)
    Ocean water
  • b)
    Spring water
  • c)
    River and lake
  • d)
    Sea water
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gayatri Chavan answered
There are two main sources of water: surface water and groundwater. Surface Water is found in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Groundwater lies under the surface of the land, where it travels through and fills openings in the rocks. The rocks that store and transmit groundwater are called aquifers.

Dew is the
  • a)
    Melting of ice on mountain peaks
  • b)
    Freezing of water in river and ponds
  • c)
    Condensation of water vapour in atmosphere
  • d)
    Condensation of water vapour near the earth surface
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjali Kapoor answered
Condensation is a process by which a gas such as water vapor is changed into liquid water. When moisture cools and reaches saturation point, the tiny particles of water condenses into larger drops of water. water vapor occur at or near the surface of the earth. vapor condenses on a nuclei near the earth's surface.

At high humidity, evaporation occurs
  • a)
    Same rate
  • b)
    Slower
  • c)
    Change with time
  • d)
    Faster
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjali Yadav answered
At high humidity, evaporation occurs slower which increase with increase in temperature or surface area.

  • a)
    River
  • b)
    Well
  • c)
    Sea
  • d)
    Lake
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajat Menon answered
Well is underground source of water while river, lake and sea are surface source of water.

Water is natural resource which is
  • a)
    Exhaustible
  • b)
    Exhaustible as well as inexhaustible
  • c)
    Inexhaustible  
  • d)
    All of above
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Alok Verma answered
Water is a natural resource that can be considered both exhaustible and inexhaustible depending on context:
  • Inexhaustible: In the broadest sense, water is considered inexhaustible because it is part of the Earth's hydrological cycle, where it is continuously recycled through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
  • Exhaustible: Locally or in specific regions, water can be exhausted or depleted due to overuse, pollution, or mismanagement, leading to water scarcity.
Therefore, the best choice is:
Exhaustible as well as inexhaustible

  • a)
    X
  • b)
    Y
  • c)
    Z
  • d)
    Either X or Y
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Akshita Basu answered
The effect of wind will be more towards the bottom part of the towel as this part is free. Thus, part Z will dry faster than the other parts of the towel.

    Evaporation
  • b)
    Condensation
  • c)
    Transpiration
  • d)
    Transformation

  • a)
    Evaporation of water droplets
  • b)
    Condensation of water droplets
  • c)
    Freezing of water droplets
  • d)
    Solidification of salts in the water droplets
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepika Basu answered
During summer, water, from our body as sweat. Evaporation causes cooling because water droplets present on the skin require some heat to evaporate, which they take from the body.
