What happens to rainwater that falls on land in the water cycle?

Some of it is absorbed into the soil. From there it can be taken up by vegetation, run into aquifers or form underground streams. A second alternative is that it runs off the top soil to form a stream which will flow into bigger streams or lakes and ponds. Another alternative is that it evaporates.

What part of the water cycle is measured by a hygrometer?
precipitation
How doese water cycle work?

What happens to the rainwater when it reaches the surface?
When the rainwater reaches the surface, it comes in contact with the atmospheric dust particle. This dust particle mixes with the rain water, making its character bit contaminated. In this way the rainwater looses its color also.
How much water falls back as rain in the hydrologic cycle?
52%
What happens to a cycle if one step is left out or destoryed?
If one step is out, water cycle will be imbalanced. It disturbs water cycle.
What happens to the levels of the oceans in the water cycle?
During the evaporation stage, the level of water cycle falls. But after precipitation it rises once again.
What are rainwater tanks used for?
Rainwater tanks are used to catch rainwater which falls from the sky when precipitation occurs. This is a great water saving device which can cut the cost of your water bills.
What happens to 99 percent of all water that falls on the earth?
it evaporates like and goes through the water cycle
What part of the water cycle is measured by a hygrometer?
precipitation
Is there a staring point in the water cycle?
A starting point in the water cycle is the evaporation of the ocean waters. A rather simplified version is: The evaporated water vapour rises from the sea and forms clouds. Rain falls from the clouds, The rainwater flows down wards to reach the sea. Evaporation starts all over again.
When it reaches the atmosphere what happens to rainwater?
it becomes water vapour in the atmosphere.
How rainwater is mostly formed from sea water?
Because in the water cycle condensed water makes clouds and clouds of course produce rain. :)
What happen to rainwater when it reaches the earth surface?
it soaks into the soil or goes evaporates and repeats the water cycle.
How do water move through the water cycle?
it falls then presepition eveportin
Is rainwater fresh?
Yes. Some places, such as the island of Bermuda, have giant catchment basins to gather all the rainwater that falls on the island, because Bermuda has no fresh water wells or springs.
What is the cycle of a heated fluid that rises and then cools and falls?
It's called the Covection Cycle and it happens with Boiled hot water, soup or whatever, hot air balloons,clouds,and possibly volcanoes.
What is a place where rainwater is collected called?
Rain water is collected through a process named Rainwater harvesting. Here rainwater that falls on the roofs are collected through pipes and ultimately stored in large tanks. These are called harvesting tanks also.
