Question

what happens to some water after precipitation when it flows over land into rivers or lakes?
a it becomes groundwater through runoff
b it evaporates
c it condenses
d it stays in the clouds

Explanation:

When water flows over land into rivers or lakes after precipitation, it can evaporate due to heat from the sun. Groundwater is formed through infiltration, not runoff in the way described in option a. Condensation occurs in the atmosphere to form clouds and water is already on - land here, not in clouds as in option d.

Answer:

B. It evaporates
