Write a statement or two describing the movement of water through the hydrologic cycle, including several of the processes that are involved.
The movement of water through the hydrologic cycle that includes the various processes.
Introduction:
Transpiration is the process through which moisture is carried by plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves. Here, it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere.
Explanation of Solution
The hydrologic cycle starts with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. When this water vapor cools and condenses to form clouds, it will come on the earth’s surface in the form of rainwater. The groundwater either seep into the oceans or reversed back to the atmosphere through the process of evaporation.
The water in the hydrologic cycle includes various processes such as evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
