The diagram below shows three processes M, N, and R in the water cycle.Diagram showing a process between a box containing the label 'Land' and a box containing the label 'Atmosphere.' Between the two boxes are three arrows stacked on top of each other all pointing to the right labeled 'M,' 'N,' and 'R' respectively.Which of these conclusions is correct about the processes M, N, and R in the diagram?M represents evaporation and N represents transpiration. R represents transpiration and M represents precipitation. R represents evaporation and M represents condensation. M represents precipitation and N represents condensation.

To answer this question we need to remember a bit about how the water cycle works, it starts with water rising into the atmosphere mainly by evaporation, there it condenses into clouds when this water vapor cools falls to earth in the form of rain, snow, or hail, the infiltrates into earth follows to a water table or rivers and the process begins one more. NNo, we must be careful with the direction of the arrows in the diagrm, alikeall ppointfrom lanfd to the atmosphere we are talking of processes that go from land to atmosphere like evaporation, evapotranspiration and condensation, so the correct answer is the first option.
