Question

Using the hydrologic cycle, explain how water could start out as a cloud and end up back in a cloud, going through at least three additional components in the cycle.

Answer 1

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

• Using the components of the hydro logical cycle the water that starts to move out as a cloud firm the ocean surfaces turn back into the rain.

• As the phases of the cloud formation start with the evaporation of the water and then the condensation into clouds and then precipitation in the forms of the snow, hail, sleet, and rain.

• On the surface this is infiltrated by the land and the soil, forming groundwater as aquifers and rest are transpired through the trees and grasses.

• Ground water flows as a subsurface down and joins the river and the sea and the lakes later on and thus recycled itself.
