WHAT IS THE HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE MAJOR PROCESS OF HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE EVAPORATION Factors Affecting Evaporation (Evaporation is inversely proportional to salinity, at the same temperature oceanic water evaporates approx. 5% less than fresh water.) (Evaporation accounts for 90 percent of the moisture in the Earth’s atmosphere; the other 10 percent is due to plant transpiration. )

Geohydrology is a study of Groundwater Science. Physical and Chemical interactions of groundwater (including how it interacts with surface water and associated environments) Geological characteristics that govern the occurrence, movement and management of groundwater (hydrological properties of rocks/soil) In total 100% water 97.5% of water is salt water and only 2.5% of water is fresh
