During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?
both evaporation and transpiration |
|
transpiration |
|
precipitation |
|
evaporation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
