Question

13) The 22% of water that falls on land goes through a more complicated series of events in the

hydrocycle, that includes
A) infiltration/absorption into the ground
B) disappearing completely from the hydrocycle
C) escaping outside of our atmosphere into outer space
D) forming ice caves in Texas​

Answer 1

A) infiltration/absorption into the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

• Water that falls on the ground through the hydrological cycle is absorbed and filtered through the pores of the soil and adds to the formation of groundwater. Once infiltrate it leads to the groundwater recharge. The infiltration accounts for 22 to 25 % of the water.

• The falling water from the clouds is 100% of which evaporation and transpiration account for 64%, soil moisture 16% and 20-25% of the groundwater.
