A.

(Hydrologic Cycle, n.d.) The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle. During the water cycle, water manages to move through the atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. The water cycle, on its basis, has three primary parts evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. The water cycle moves through the atmosphere during evaporations. Evaporation occurs when heat from the sun converts water into its gaseous state. Once in its gaseous state, water moves into the atmosphere. Water also moves through the biosphere during transpiration. Transpiration happens when water moves from the roots of plants onto the leaves; it then changes into water vapor and enters the...
