Is this a closed system or an open system? How do you know?

# data[].attributes.body
It is a closed system because the amount of water on earth does not fluctuate.

# data[].attributes.body
The Water Cycle goes through 3 different forms. The three forms include solid, liquid, and gas.

Evapotranspiration- This term is described as the combined processes by which water moves from the earth's surface into the atmosphere.

Condensation- the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. Condensation is very important to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds

Precipitation-is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain.

Infiltration-is the movement of water into the ground from the surface. Percolation is movement of water past the soil going deep into the groundwater.

Throughflow- the lateral unsaturated flow of water in the soil zone. Water then returns to the surface, as return flow, before or on entering a stream or groundwater.

Runoff-  water "running off" the land surface. The rain that covers the landscape which runs off downhill due to gravity. Runoff is an important component of the natural water cycle.

# data[].attributes.body
Groundwater flow- fresh water (from rain or melting ice and snow) that soaks into the soil and is stored in the tiny spaces between rocks and particles of soil. Groundwater accounts for nearly 95 percent of the nation's fresh water resources.

Evaporation- the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. Evaporation is the primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle as atmospheric water vapor.
