Question

Within the water cycles, where do individual water molecules stay for the least amount of time?

A: in the atmosphere


B: in the ocean


C: in deep groundwater


D: in shallow groundwater

Answer 1

A: in the atmosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

• As the air is a mixture of gases and the air is continuously in motion as the water molecules are then evaporated or quickly get concentrated and condense and hence they get transformed very quickly thus for the least amount of time the water molecule is present in the air.

• The air current picks and drops the molecules to far and distance off place and hence they tend to remove the molecules or shift them from one place to another.
