The diagram illustrates the natural water cycle which occurs continuously on, above and below the surface of the Earth.
Overall, there are five main stages: evaporation, condensation, precipation, percopation and runoff.
In detail, sea water is heated under the sun and evaporate to form water vapour. It is estimated that 80% of total water vapour is taken from the ocean. The water vapour rise up in the atmosphere at high attitude and then condense into water droplets. They interact each other to form clouds and become bigger and bigger. They get heavy enough to precipate or to form snow if the temperature is low. On the one side, the water falling is contained by lakes. On the other side, it percopates into the soil, known as groundwater. Another source of water is the surface runoff from melt snow in the high temperature. Both types run off into streams to oceans. The water then enter the cycle over again and again.
