Question

Of the following water cycle processes,the one working against gravity is​
A) ​percolation
B) ​infiltration
C) ​runoff
D) ​transpiration
E) ​precipitation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by plant roots and then released into the atmosphere through pores in the plants' leaves. This process involves the movement of water against gravity, as plants must transport water from their roots up to their leaves. The other processes listed (percolation, infiltration, runoff, precipitation) all involve the movement of water down towards the Earth's surface, with the force of gravity driving this movement.
