How would the cryosphere effect the water cycle?

• Ice melting, eventually leads to runoff which will condense

• Ice melting, eventually leads to runoff which will be evaporated

• Ice melting, eventually leads to runoff which will be sublimed

• Ice melting, eventually leads to run off which will be transpired
