How does radiant heat from the Sun affect the water cycle? A. It causes precipitation. B. It causes evaporation. C. It causes cloud formation. D. It causes surface run-off.
Madhur L.
The hydrologic cycle is driven by $a$. the flow of water into the oceans via rivers. $b$. evaporation (transpiration) of water from the leaves of plants. $c$ evaporation of water from the surface of the oceans. $d$. precipitation falling on land. $e .$ the fact that more water falls on the ocean as precipitation than evaporates from its surface.
