Solution

The correct option is B False

Evaporation:

  • It is a process in which a phase transition occurs from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase.

Evaporation of water:

  • Evaporation is the primary way that water changes from the liquid phase i..e water into the gaseous phase i.e. water vapor in the water cycle.
  • After the rainfall, evaporation of water can takes place from the upper layer of the soil.
  • Most of the water that evaporates from the oceans falls back into the oceans in the form of precipitation.

Thus, the given statement- “Water evaporates into the air from oceans, rivers, and lakes but not from the soil” is a false statement.
