Question

How does Rain Fall?

Rain is one of the main sources of fresh water for almost all people in the world. It provides suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems. It is also used as hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation. But, do you know how rain happens?

The rain’s phenomenon is actually what we often call as “water circle.” The concept of the water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth’s surface water and causing the surface water to evaporate. Then the water vapor rises into the Earth’s atmosphere.

The water in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow bigger and heavier and fall to the Earth as precipitation.

However, not all rain can reach the surface of the earth. Some evaporates while failing through dry air. This is what we call as “Virga”, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.

What can evaporate the sea?

a. Sun heat
b. Fire heat
c. Water heat
d. Ice
e. Global Warming

What can evaporate the sea? (Apa yang bisa menguapkan laut?)

Pembahasan
Perhatikan penggalan teks berikut:
The concept of the water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth’s surface water and causing the surface water to evaporate. (Konsep siklus air melibatkan matahari yang memanaskan air permukaan bumi dan menyebabkan air permukaan menguap.)

Karena air laut adalah salah satu contoh air yang ada di permukaan bumi maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa yang bisa menguapkan air laut adalah panas dari matahari.

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah a. Sun heat.
