Question

in the water cycle, water travels from bodies of water to the. then it travels back to the ground and to the oceans. mountains soil air lithosphere

Explanation:

In the water cycle, the process of evaporation (and transpiration) moves water from bodies of water (like oceans, lakes, rivers) into the air as water vapor. Mountains are landforms and not the direct destination of water from bodies of water in the water cycle's first step here. Soil is part of the ground where water may infiltrate later, not the initial destination from bodies of water. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth (crust and upper mantle) and not the immediate place water goes from bodies of water. So the correct answer is air as water evaporates into the atmosphere (air) from bodies of water.

Answer:

C. air
