Answer:D,C,

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1)Trees increase the ability of the soil to retain stormwater by absorbing water from the ground. The roots also help to break up compacted soil as they expand, allowing water to flow more easily downward into the groundwater level.

Q2) The Sun's energy drives the water cycle. The sun warms the ocean's surface and other bodies of surface water, allowing liquid water to drain and ice to sublime (transform from a solid to a gas). These solar-powered processes release water vapor into to the atmosphere.

Thats All I have
