What does hydrology study?

  1. Life cycles of aquatic organisms

  2. Properties, distribution, and circulation of earth's water

  3. Chemical properties of bodies of water

  4. Underwater geological formations

The correct answer is: Properties, distribution, and circulation of earth's water

Hydrology is the study of water, including its properties, distribution, and circulation throughout the earth. While options A, C, and D may all involve some aspect of water, they are not the main focus of hydrology. Option A may be studied in biology or ecology, option C is studied in chemistry, and option D is studied in geology. So, while these options may sometimes involve water, they are not the primary focus of hydrology.
