Short note on occurrence of water in different source and state​

Water circulates in nature through a continuous and permanent process called the hydrological cycle or the water cycle. In this process the physical and biological elements of nature intervene, atmosphere, rain, water from lakes, rivers and seas, soil and vegetation. Water is in several states: solid state, which is ice. Liquid state, includes groundwater, which is found in the deep layers of the soil, and surface water, which includes innumerable rivers, and a gaseous state, which is found in air and clouds.

Explanation:

Water covers 71% of the earth's surface. The water cycle comprises three phases: Evaporation, filling the atmosphere with large amounts of water vapor (gaseous state). Condensation, forming water droplets in the form of a cloud or mist. Precipitation: the water vapor that is the clouds cools and precipitates in the form of rain, hail or snow. When the rain falls, some of the water is retained in the dense foliage and branches of the trees. Another seeps into the ground, forming the layers of underground water and the other part drains superficially forming streams, rivers or increasing their flow. All water, through evaporation, can change back to the gaseous state, restarting the water cycle. On our planet, water is located mainly in the oceans where 96.5% of total water is concentrated, glaciers and polar caps have 1.74%, underground deposits in (aquifers), and continental glaciers represent the 1.72% and the remaining 0.04% is distributed in decreasing order between lakes, soil moisture, atmosphere, reservoirs, rivers and living beings. Water is found in nature in three different forms or states in: solid state, such as ice, hail or snow, liquid state, such as the water we consume and the water of the seas, rivers and lakes and in the gaseous, when it forms clouds or steam that comes out of boiling water.

i might be wrong but i think its a. let me know if i’m right and have a good rest of your day!

the correct answer is b
