This will help? Sorry for huge answer

A quick summary of the ater cycle
The water cycle has no startng point, but a good place to begin is the oceans. The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Evaporation also occurs from freshwater lakes and rivers. On land, evapotranspiration, which is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil, contributes vapor to the air. A small amount of water in the atmsphere comes from sublimation, where ice and snow evaporate directly into vapor, skipping the melting phase completely. Rising air currents take the vapor up into the atmosphere where cooler temperatures cause it to condense into clouds. Air currents move clouds around the globe, and cloud particles collide, grow, and fall out of the sky as precipitation. Some precipitation falls as snow and can accumulate as ice caps and glaciers. Snow in warmer climates often melts when spring arrives, and the melted water flows overland as snowmelt runoff. While most precipitation falls back into the oceans, some falls onto land, where, due to gravity, it flows over the ground as surface runoff. Some of the surface runoff enters rivers and moves as streamflowtowards the oceans, and some of it accumulates as freshwater in lakes and rivers. Not all runoff flows into surface-water bodies, though. Much of it soaks into the ground (infiltration). Some water infiltrates deep into theground and replenishes aquifers (saturated subsurface rock), which store huge amounts of fresh ground water for long periods of time. Some ground water stays close to the land surface and can seep back into surface-water bodies (and the ocean) as groundwater discharge, and some finds openings in the land surface and emerges as freshwater springs. Over time, though, this water keeps moving, with some to reenter the ocean where the water cycle "ends" ... and begins Evaporation and why it occurs
Picture showing evaporation from a pond. Evaporation is the process by which water changes from liquid to a gas or vapor. Evaporation is the primary way that water moves from liquid back into the water cycle as water vapor in the atmosphere. Studies have shown that the oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers provide nearly 90 percent of the moisture in our atmosphere viai evaporation, with the remaining 10 percent coming from plant transpiration.
Heat (energy) is necessary for evaporation to occur. Energy is used to break the bonds that hold water molecules together, which is why water easily evaporates at the boiling point (100° C, 212° F) but evaporates much more slowly at the freezing point. When the relative humidity of the air is 100 percent, which is a state of saturation, evaporation cannot continue to occur. The process of vaporation removes heat from the environment, which is why water evaporating from your skin cools you.
Evaporation and the water cycle
Evaporation from the oceans is the primary way for water to move into the atmosphere. The large surface area of the oceans (over 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by the oceans) provides the opportunity for large-scale evaporation to occur. On a global scale, the amount of water evaporating is about the same as the amount of water returning to the Earth as precipitation. This doesvary geographically, though. Evaporation is more common over the oceans than precipitation, while over the land, precipitation exceeds evaporation. Most of the water that evaporates from the oceans falls back into the oceans as precipitation. Only about 10 percent of the water evaporated from the oceans is transported over land and falls as precipitation. Once evaporated, a water molecule spends about 10 days in the air. My original answer was too large :(
