Identify the processes in the water cycle diagram.

• 1: Transpiration (water vapor released from plants)
• 2: Condensation (water vapor forming clouds)
• 3: Precipitation (water falling from clouds)
• 4: Surface runoff (water flowing over land)
• 5: Infiltration (water soaking into the ground)

Precipitation can be enhanced naturally by:

• Increased evaporation from water bodies and transpiration from plants, which adds more water vapor to the atmosphere, leading to more cloud formation.
• The presence of condensation nuclei (e.g., dust, pollen, sea salt) in the atmosphere, which provides surfaces for water vapor to condense upon, facilitating the growth of water droplets in clouds.
