2. It is also known as the water cycle.
3. Infiltration is a process that happens when water soaks into the soil from the ground level. It moves underground and moves between the soil and rocks.
4. Runoff occurs when there is more water than land can absorb. The excess liquid flows across the surface of the land and into nearby creeks, streams, or ponds and oceans.
5. Therefore, the ocean of earth are major water reservoirs for the hydrological cycle.
