One stage of the water cycle that is easy to observe is the precipitation of rain, snow, or hail. Another stage that is easy to see is the runoff of water through streams and rivers as it returns to the ocean. Both affect the amount of water an environment receives. – Select three ways an environment is affected by the amount of water it receives through the water cycle.

Clouds form
Clouds releasing rain over the mountains.
C
The water vapor rises into the atmosphere, cools, and condenses together.
A
The water is heated, becomes a gas, and rises into the air.
Cloud
The number of organisms that can live in an environment, as more precipitation allows more organisms to be supported.
Weathering and erosion seldom happens and doesn't effect landforms.
The processes of erosion, and thus landforms, that can occur in an environment, as very high or very low amounts of precipitation may increase erosion.
The types of organisms that can live in an environment, as different types of organisms require different amounts of precipitation.
