Question

identify the sentence that best describes water moving from the atmosphere to the geosphere. water cycles through earths four subsystems. water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and other sources evaporates and enters the atmosphere as water vapor. when water vapor in the atmosphere cools, it forms tiny water droplets. clouds form when large numbers of water droplets collect. when these tiny droplets amass within clouds, they become heavier. finally, the heavier water drops fall down as rain, some of which permeate earths surface.

Explanation:

To determine the sentence describing water moving from the atmosphere (air, clouds) to the geosphere (Earth's surface/ground), we analyze each part:

• Evaporation is from geosphere (oceans, lakes) to atmosphere.
• Cooling to form droplets is within atmosphere.
• Cloud formation is within atmosphere.
• When water drops fall as rain and permeate Earth’s surface, this is water (from atmospheric clouds) moving to the geosphere (Earth’s surface/ground). So the sentence "Finally, the heavier water drops fall down as rain, some of which permeate Earth’s surface" describes this transfer.

Answer:

Finally, the heavier water drops fall down as rain, some of which permeate Earth’s surface
