Question

the diagram below shows a model of the water cycle. which of the following arrows is showing the wrong pathway? image of water cycle with labels: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, transpiration, lake, ground water, uptake; options: runoff, evaporation, transpiration, condensation

Explanation:

Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants (stomata) into the atmosphere. In the diagram, the transpiration arrow points downward (to the lake/ground), which is incorrect. Evaporation (ocean to air), runoff (land to ocean/lake), and condensation (vapor to clouds) follow correct water - cycle pathways.

Answer:

transpiration
