.

1. where is the majority of earths water is found?

Explanation:

Question 1: Label the steps of the water cycle

1. Arrow 1 is from a body of water (like a lake or ocean) upward, representing Evaporation (liquid water to gas).
2. Arrow 2 is from water vapor to a cloud, representing Condensation (gas to liquid, forming clouds).
3. Arrow 3 is from a tree upward, representing Transpiration (water loss from plants).
4. Arrow 4 is from a cloud downward (rain/snow), representing Precipitation.
5. Arrow 5 is water flowing over land (rivers/streams), representing Runoff.
6. Arrow 6 is water soaking into the ground, representing Infiltration.

The water cycle is also called the Hydrologic cycle (studies water movement in the hydrologic system).

Evaporation (and Transpiration, a type of evaporation from plants) changes liquid water to water vapor (gas). Step 1 (Evaporation) or Step 3 (Transpiration) involves this, but Evaporation (Step 1) is the primary process for liquid-to-gas from water bodies.

Answer:

1. Evaporation
2. Condensation
3. Transpiration
4. Precipitation
5. Runoff
6. Infiltration
