Answer
Correct Answer: d, b, e, c, a
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Hydrological reasoning: mountain ice gives rise to tiny streams, which form rivers that drain to seas and finally the global oceans.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Glacier melt → rivulets → rivers.
- Rivers often empty into seas, which are marginal parts of the oceans.
Concept / Approach:Order by natural flow from source to ultimate sink.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Glacier (d) → Rivulet (b) → River (e) → Sea (c) → Ocean (a).Verification / Alternative check:Consistent with drainage basins and global ocean connectivity.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They place ocean/sea before upstream sources.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing sea vs ocean; reversing source and mouth.
Final Answer:d, b, e, c, a
