Answer : The increasing order of the residence time for a molecule of water is-

  • soil moisture
  • atmosphere
  • glaciers
  • ice sheets
  • biosphere

This trend is shown because the water molecule resides for a very less time in soil moisture after which it gets evaporated and is present in the atmosphere.

In glaciers, the water molecule stays for a longer period and then in ice sheets at last the longest duration where the water resides for highest time is in the biosphere, in the form of water reservoirs.
