Answer: In the hydrologic cycle, water from the ocean:

evaporate, it means that the water "transforms" into vapor, so goes in the atmosphere and form clouds.

into the atmosphere where it can:

Condense, it means that the vapor in the atmosphere cold down his temperature and transform in liquid water again.

So evaporation is the process where some liquid changes of phase to a gas state. (here water to vapor of water)

and Condensation is the process where a gas changes of phase to a liquid state. (here vapor of water to water)
