Answer to Question 1

Answer: Hy hydrologic cycle is the movement of water from the atmosphere to Earth's surface, across that surface, and back to the atmosphere.

Water is stored in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere in solid, gaseous, and liquid forms. Water cycles through the atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere by means of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Evaporation converts liquid water in lakes and oceans into vapor, returning it into the atmosphere. Water falls from the atmosphere to the ground and ocean through condensation and precipitation. Runoff carries water from the land to the sea.
