The hydrological cycle describes the continuous movement of water which includes:
Choose the correct answer
Only the rainfall to river flow stage
Continuous water movement: evaporation → condensation → precipitation → surface runoff & infiltration → groundwater → ocean
Only groundwater movement
Movement of water only in oceans

Hydrological cycle: evaporation (ocean/land) → water vapour → condensation (clouds) → precipitation (rain/snow) → surface runoff + infiltration → groundwater → river flow back to ocean. Key processes: evapotranspiration, precipitation, interception, infiltration, runoff, and groundwater flow. Energy source = solar radiation.
