Show Answer Hide Answer
True — the water cycle moves water to different places and refills all water sources

Explanation

  • Redistribution: evaporation → vapour → clouds → precipitation.
  • Rain falls in different places, even far inland.
  • Rivers and lakes: precipitation continuously refills them.
  • Glaciers: winter snowfall replenishes glaciers that feed rivers in summer.
  • Groundwater: rainwater infiltrates soil → recharges aquifers.
  • Total water on Earth is conserved .
  • It is recycled among atmosphere, surface, and underground.
Water cycle = evaporation + precipitation + infiltration; redistributes water everywhere and replenishes rivers, glaciers, and aquifers.
