1) Evaporation — solar heat turns ocean water into water vapor that rises into the air.
2) Condensation and transport — vapor cools and condenses into clouds; winds carry those clouds over land.
3) Precipitation — water falls as rain or snow onto the land surface.
4) Infiltration and percolation — surface water soaks into soil, then percolates down through porous rock and sediment to recharge underground aquifers.
