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.
