A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

The hydrologic cycle and meteorological processes

The hydrologic cycle explains how water continuously moves among the atmosphere, land, oceans, and subsurface through processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and transpiration. For exams, you must understand both the cycle itself and the key meteorological processes that control rainfall formation, moisture movement, and the distribution of water in time and space.
