Task 2
Read the following text.
Evaporation
Solar energy evaporates exposed water from seas, lakes, rivers, and wet soils; the majority
of this evaporation takes place over the seas. Water is also released into the atmosphere by
the plants through photosynthesis. During this process, known as evaporation, water vapour
rises into the atmosphere.
Clouds form when air becomes saturated with water vapour. The two major types of cloud
formation are stratified or layered grey cloud called stratus, and billowing white or dark grey
cloud called cumulus. Nimbostratus clouds and cumulonimbus clouds are the two cloud
types that are associated with rainy weather, nimbostratus clouds will bring steady rain, and
cumulonimbus clouds will bring stormy weather.
Precipitation as rain or hail ensures that water return to Earths surface in a fresh form.
Some of this rain, however, falls into the sea and is not accessible to human. When rain falls,
it either washes downhill slopes or seeps underground; when snow and hail melt, this water
also sink into the ground.
Rain fall also replenishes river water supplies, as does by underground water. Snow fall may
consolidate into glaciers, and ice sheets which, when they melt, release their water into the
ground, into the stream or into the seas.
