n the hydrologic cycle, the majority of water that undergoes comes from the oceans. After that, it condenses into clouds and precipitation follows.

In the hydrologic cycle, the majority of water that undergoes evaporation comes from the oceans. This water vapor then rises into the atmosphere where cooler temperatures cause it to condense into clouds. When the cloud particles become too heavy to remain in the atmosphere, precipitation occurs, which can be in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This water then returns to the earth's surface, where it can either be taken up by plants and animals, flow into rivers and eventually back into the ocean, or seep into the ground to become part of the groundwater system. This cycle then repeats.
