Question

multiple-choice question
water collecting underground is known as
precipitation
condensation
infiltration
evaporation
runoff
transpiration

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Precipitation: Water falling from clouds (rain, snow, etc.).
• Condensation: Gas to liquid (cloud formation).
• Infiltration: Water seeping into the ground (collecting underground).
• Evaporation: Liquid to gas (water turning to vapor).
• Runoff: Water flowing over land (not underground).
• Transpiration: Water loss from plants.

Only infiltration matches "water collecting underground."

Answer:

C. infiltration
