(a) Aquifer is groundwater stored between layers of hard rock above the water table.
(b) The process of evaporation of water in the ground is called infiltration.
(c) The evaporation of water from oceans and its arrival back into oceans is called vapour cycle.

(a) Aquifer is groundwater stored between layers of hard rock below the water table. In other words, the water bearing layer of the earth is called aquifer.
(b) The process of seeping of water in the ground is called infiltration. The groundwater thus gets recharged by this process.
(c) The evaporation of water from oceans and its arrival back into oceans is called water cycle. The process of water cycle includes evaporation, the formation of clouds and condensation. The water from oceans, rivers, lakes evaporates and rises into the atmosphere as water vapours. It condenses into millions of tiny droplets that form clouds. The clouds lose their water as rain or snow.
