Question

In the water cycle, _____.
total evaporation equals total precipitation.
plants add water to the atmosphere through sublimation.
less precipitation than evaporation happens over land.
more evaporation happens over land than over the oceans.

Answer 1

plants add water to the atmosphere through sublimation.

The evaporation process uses the sun radiation or sun’s thermal energy for vaporization of a water from the land or soil to be water vapor then in the air. Transpiration on the other hand is the same with evaporation that involves water molecules to be vaporized into the air but it is located in the stoma of the plants. It is like evaporation within plants. This is actually to have homeostasis in plants and still part of the water cycle. 

NOT:
total evaporation equals total precipitation. 
less precipitation than evaporation happens over land.
more evaporation happens over land than over the oceans.

Answer 2

The correct answer is total evaporation equals total precipitation.
