Which terms describe the main processes in the water cycle?

The best first place to try on general questions like this is google.
You will find many examples, illustrations, discussions, and videos.
evaporation (the water is a gas), condensation (the water is a cloud), precipitation (the water is rain/snow/sleet/hail), groundwater (the water soaks into the soil and is filtered), runoff (the water runs off into a larger body of water ocean/lake/pond), and collection (the water collects in a large body of water). Then the cycle repeats!
