Question

Hydrological cycle is controlled by
A. Grasslands
B. Forests
C. Planktons
D. Epiphytes

Answer 1

Hint: Water forms the life on Earth so it is very important to save and conserve this. Nature also plays an important role in conserving this water on its level. The rest of the conservation is to be done by the humans themselves.

Complete answer:
Hydrological cycle is the water cycle that is responsible for maintaining the water level in the atmosphere. Water cycle works in the way that the rain occurs on Earth, water gets evaporated, gets condensed to form clouds and again in the form of rain to recover the evaporated water. It is very important to maintain this cycle to prevail the level of water in the biosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere etc.

> Option A: Grasslands: They are the area where vegetation is dominant over the grasses. There are trees and shrubs.

> Option B: Forests: they form the largest areas of plants to be grown including grasses and huge trees both. They form the major land on the Earth. So they are responsible for most of the water cycle on the Earth.

> Option C: Planktons: These are the small organisms in the water which can flow opposite of the water current. They are food to larger bodies.

> Option D: Epiphytes: An epiphyte grown on the surface of a plant. They take part in the nutrient cycle of the plant they are taking shelter upon.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: Sun forms the driving factor of the hydrological cycle. There is evaporation, transpiration, condensation, rain etc in this whole process. This cycle is non-renewable. Nearly 3 percent of water in this cycle is unsalted, that is it is free to access.
