How does gravity influence the movement of water in the water cycle?

• Gravity causes water to flow downhill and pulls water vapor down as precipitation.

• Gravity causes water to move sideways in the water cycle.

• Gravity pushes water vapor up into the atmosphere.

• Gravity has no impact on the movement of water in the water cycle.
