Gravity and energy from the Sun are two major driving forces involved in the cycling of water through Earth's systems. Can you identify one other driving force that might be involved in the water cycle? Explain.

Answer:

The strength of the winds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wind force is the third driving force in the hydrological cycle, which is often overlooked because of its small share compared to the force of gravity and solar energy. However, the force of the winds is responsible for transporting and distributing the water vapor to the continents, allowing the cycle to continue throughout the land, even if this distribution is not homogeneous.
