Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Liquid water falls to the ground in the form of rain. Liquid water also forms when winter ice and snow begin to melt. Much of this water is called runoff.
Detailed explanation-2: -Infiltration happens when water soaks into the soil from the ground level. It moves underground and moves between the soil and rocks. Some of the water will be soaked up by roots to help plants grow.
Detailed explanation-3: -Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls to Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -When molecules of water vapor return to liquid or solid form, they create cloud droplets that can fall back to Earth as rain or snow-a process called condensation.
