Question

Describe how water goes through the hydrologic cycle, starting and ending with ocean water. At least 2 sentances I will name brainlest!

Answer 1

Answer:

Water starts to evaporates from ocean water and joins the ocean in the form of precipitation and stream/river flow into the ocean.

Explanation:

The hydrologic cycle is a complex system of exchange involving water as it circulates among the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Water goes through the hydrologic cycle in different forms:

1) Evaporation: In this stage water converts into gaseous form due to intense      heat.

2) Condensation: Water (in gaseous form) goes upward and condensed and it forms clouds

3) Precipitation: Due to condensation process gaseous water converts into water droplets and fall from sky in the form of precipitation (rain, snow,sleet etc)

4) Surface Runoff: Rain water runs on surface of the earth and fall into rivers and streams. And finally it joins the ocean again in the form of stream/river flow.

5) Infiltration: Sometimes water infiltrates into surface ground and increase the underground water table and it also joins main underground water flow.
