Transpiration: trees and plants take-up water from the ground and release water vapour through their leaves into the atmosphere. Evaporation: oceans and lakes evaporate water to the atmosphere because of the heat from the Sun. Condensation: molecules of water vapour condence (join) together and produce clouds. When the water gets to heavy it is released back to Earth.
