Question

which process is responsible for the movement of water from the earth’s surface to the atmosphere? infiltration evaporation precipitation condensation

Explanation:

To determine the process for water moving from Earth’s surface to the atmosphere, we analyze each option:

• Infiltration: Water enters soil, not the atmosphere.
• Evaporation: Liquid water becomes vapor (gas) and rises to the atmosphere.
• Precipitation: Water falls from the atmosphere to Earth.
• Condensation: Water vapor becomes liquid droplets (clouds), not surface - to - atmosphere movement.

So evaporation is the correct process.

Answer:

1. Evaporation
