Which of the following is not part of a hydrologic cycle ?
Answer: C
The process that is not part of the hydrologic cycle is calcium carbonate dissolving in soil water and ground water.
The hydrologic cycle is the movement of water itself between the atmosphere, the land surface, the ground and the oceans: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff and groundwater flow. Dissolving calcium carbonate is a chemical weathering reaction, part of the carbon and rock cycles; the water involved moves anyway, but the dissolution is not a step in the water cycle.
Infiltration into soil and bedrock, evaporation from a lake, and water draining into creeks and streams after rain are all stages of the hydrologic cycle.
