The movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere, to the land, and back to the ocean is called the water cycle. The water cycle consists of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

In what process does water move from the air to the land?
Evaporation is the process where water moves from the air to the land.
What happens when the water table is above the surface at various places?
If the water table is higher the the surface of the land, water will seep out of the land surface and form a puddle, pool or lake. The depth of the water body will increase until the water surface is at the same level as the surrounding water table - this is a state of equilibrium. If the water table lowers, so will the water level in the water body, until equilibrium is reached. Water moves slowly into and out of the land surface and follows the movement of the water table in the area. Don't confuse this with storage reservoirs behind dams. These have an artificially high water level and the surrounding water table can be lower than the reservoir.
What is the force that moves water?
The primary force that moves water is gravity. Water runs down hill. The primary force that moves water vapor is solar radiation, which causes evaporation off earth's oceans and makes the wind blow, pushing around the clouds. These two things combined result in the water cycle. Water evaporates off the oceans, and falls back as rain, or drifts over the land and falls as rain, snow, or hail. This water then seeps into the ground as ground water, or runs off into streams, lakes, and rivers, eventually returning to the ocean--where the sun knocks it back into the atmosphere in the form of clouds again.
What is the continuous movement of water from earths surface to the air and back to earth surface?
The water cycle
Why a cut in water looks worse than a cut on land in terms of diffusion and the movement of particles?
In water, blood spreads quickly through the sea, by diffusion, however, this does not happen on land.

How does water mov through the water cycle?
Water moves through biosphere. It travels through land, water and air.
As water moves through the water cycle how do it shape the land?
it moves uphill and towards the surface of earth
By what two processes is water cycled from land to the atmosphere?
Water in the water cycle enters the atmosphere through the processes of evaporation and transpiration.
What processes removes carbon dioxide from the air or water?
Photosynethesis by plants helps remove carbon from the air.
How is carbon dioxide fixed in the atmosphere?
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
How does water move from the air to the land?
Water evaporates, that is how it moves from the land to the air and when it precipitates, mostly rains, it moves to the land. Then the cycle starts again. For more information, you can look up the water cycle.
What is ebbing and flowing?
Ebbing is when water moves away from the land. Flowing is when water moves towards the land. J
Can you land on a rainbow?
Uummm, no. A rainbow is only a refraction of sunlight through micro droplets of water in the atmosphere.
Where does the water cycle starts on land atmosphere or water?
Water
What are the two processes that cycle water from land to the atmosphere?
The two processes that cycle water from land to the atmosphere are:1. Evaporation2. Condensation
