Another name for a drainage basin is watershed or even a catchment basin/area

<u>Explanation</u>:

It is a piece of land where water collects and later drains off into the same outlet. This water gets collected from rain, snowfall, underground water and nearby narrow streams. They form a hierarchical pattern by connecting with other basins.

The drainage divide is what divides basins from one another by forming topographical barriers. Close basin is one type where there is a single point known as the sink within the basin where all the water collects. This sink could a lake which is dry or an area where all water on surface is lost underground.

Leona [35]

Answer:

E. hydrologic cycle

Explanation:

The transfer of water between the atmosphere, the oceans, and the continents is known as the hydrologic cycle which involves water moving from the surface most importantly from the oceans to the atmosphere, over the land and everywhere in between. In phases of water, the earth is a sealed system, so water is not joined or withdrawn from the earth, it is simply transformed, transported, and even recycled.

Since the hydrologic cycle has no start or end, you can dive in at any step. A great place to start is in the oceans, where most water of the earth is stored.
