Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Addition to a glacier is considered storage as the water is retained in the ice and is not actively moving through the hydrologic cycle. The other options are all processes of the hydrologic cycle, but not necessarily storage. Evaporation is the movement of water from the surface to the atmosphere. Infiltration is the movement of water into the ground. Transpiration is the movement of water from plants to the atmosphere. Condensation is the transformation of water vapor into liquid, which may lead to precipitation.
