(Q003) Which of the following statements about the hydrologic cycle is true?Group of answer choicesThere is an exchange of water among oceans, land, and atmosphere.Water that manages to infiltrate the land is lost to the cycle.Headward erosion causes sheetwash.Surface snow and ice are not part of this cycle.

The correct statement about the hydrologic cycle is: "There is an exchange of water among oceans, land, and atmosphere."

The hydrologic cycle, also known as the water cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. This cycle involves the exchange of water among various reservoirs such as the oceans, land (including underground water reserves and rivers), and the atmosphere.

The other statements are incorrect because:

• Water that infiltrates the land is not lost to the cycle. It can be taken up by plants and transpired, or it can eventually make its way back to the surface and evaporate, or flow into rivers and eventually the ocean.
• Headward erosion is a process of erosion that lengthens a stream, but it doesn't cause sheetwash, which is a type of overland flow.
• Surface snow and ice are part of the hydrologic cycle. They can melt and become surface runoff, or they can evaporate directly into the atmosphere in a process known as sublimation.
