Answer:

Precipitation, Surface Runoff and Infiltration process

Step-by-step explanation:

There different stages of the water cycle where the water comes back on earth due to the gravitational force are as follows-

Rainfall/Precipitation- The water vapour in the cloud undergoes the process of condensation, it leads to the occurrence of rainfall, where the water comes freely over the ground surface from a certain height.

Surface Runoff- These refer to the flow of water rapidly along a steep slope, under the influence of gravity that eventually adds to the streams, lakes and rivers.

Infiltration process- This is the process where the water from the earth's surface percolates through the rocks and flows downward and eventually mixes with the groundwater.
