The Water Cycle

Question 2 • OK-Environmental Science A

Which of the following is not a possible water cycle for wildlife?

Answer
A
wildlife, atmosphere, clouds, precipitation (snow), wildlife
B
wildlife, soil, atmosphere, clouds, wildlife
C
wildlife, atmosphere, clouds, precipitation (rain), wildlife
D
wildlife, soil, vegetation, wildlife

Explanation

Clouds do not return water directly to wildlife; the water must fall as precipitation or otherwise reach the ground first. Choice B goes from clouds straight to wildlife without showing that step, so it is not a complete possible water cycle. The other choices include a route by which water can reach wildlife, such as rain, snow, or uptake by vegetation.
