The water cycle consists of evaporation of water from water bodies, its condensation and then rain, Also we know that all seawater is salty, so which one of the following statements is INCORRECT? A. The evaporation of seawater causes the most of the cloud formation B. The general color of clouds is white because they contain the salt which evaporates with the seawater. C. The water from rain percolates through the soil and accumulates as ground water D. The heat provided by the sun gives the sufficient kinetic energy to the molecules of the seawater to escape from the surface. Page 42 of 61 Copyright (C) 2018 by Asian Science & Maths Olympiad.

Thus salt water is slightly heavier than fresh water. This difference in density causes the pressure under a saltwater column to be greater than the pressure under a column of the same height of fresh water.” 19. Suppose we dig a well at the top of the fresh water aquifer and pump the water out of it. What is the correct possibility out of given options? A. Pumping out the fresh water would cause the reduction in pressure. To equalize this pressure salt water would be drawn to the top replacing the fresh water. 8. The reduction in pressure due to pumping of fresh water would be compensated by the other nearby fresh water aquifers, C. The reduction in pressure would intensify the effect of drawing salt water. First we would draw all the fresh water and then after sometime we would get salt water from the well. D. To equalise the pressure below ground level, air would be drawn in causing the formation of cracks in the grounds. 20. Sometimes, we see a double rainbow in the sky. Which of the following facts is INCORRECT about the phenomenon of double rainbow? A. Itis caused by a double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops. B. Itis formed when raindrops collect in two groups and each group forms a single rainbow. C. Due to second reflection, the colors of second rainbow are inverted as compared to first rainbow formed. D. The second rainbow is fainter than the first one because more light escapes from two reflections as compared to one. Page 43 of 61 Copyright (C) 2018 by Asian Science & Maths Olympiad.
