Answer 1

1. Vaporization (transition from liquid to gas)
2. Evaporation (liquid water becomes water vapor)
3. Being a universal solvent (water dissolves many substances due to its polarity)
4. By capturing nitrogen from rainfall or decomposing material for soil enrichment (water transports nitrogen compounds)
5. Condensation (water vapor in the atmosphere forms clouds)
