List five ways water is stored as it passes through the water cycle.

During the water cycle, water can be stored in oceans, atmosphere, lakes, snow and underground.

Explanation:

The water cycle is the permanent process of transforming water in nature from one state to another (liquid, solid or gaseous). This cycle occurs as follows:

The heat radiated by the sun warms the water of rivers, lakes, seas and oceans occurring the phenomenon of evaporation. At this moment, the liquid state of water changes to its gaseous state as it moves from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere where it is stored as vapor. Water vapor cools, accumulates in the atmosphere and condenses into droplets, which will form clouds or fogs. At this moment, the process of condensation occurs, that is, the transformation of the gaseous state of water to its liquid state, with the clouds, the droplets of liquid water suspended in the air.With too much condensed water in the atmosphere, the Precipitation process begins, where droplets suspended in the air become heavy and fall to the ground in the form of rain. In very cold regions condensed water changes from gaseous to liquid state and rapidly to solid state, forming snow or hail. In this form water can be stored in oceans, lakes, streams or snow. When the condensed water vapor falls on the earth's surface, a part of this water infiltrates the groundwater. In this form water can be stored underground. Part of the water that has infiltrated the soil can be absorbed by plants that, after using it, return it to the atmosphere through the process of perspiration.
