• transpiration from plants

• runoff into the lake and oceans

• condensation that forms clouds

Clouds are

• The process where water vapor changes from a gas to a liquid.

• Millions of tiny water droplets or crystals that form when water vapor in the air condenses to form liquid water or crystals.

• Water that cannot be absorbed into the surface but runs along it.
