Which of the processes associated with the water cycle might be responsible for helping to clean or filter the water?
- Precipitation: Rainfall helps to clean the air and surfaces by washing away pollutants and contaminants.
- Infiltration: Water seeping into the ground can pass through layers of soil and rock, which act as natural filters, removing impurities from the water.
- Groundwater recharge: As water percolates through the ground and enters underground aquifers, it gets filtered and purified through the natural processes of soil and rock formations.
