Step-by-step explanation:

Sun provide a heat to the ocean. Water in ocean get heat and become water vapor this process called evaporation ( water become water vapor)

then change of water from its gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid water. This process called Condensation Next is precipitation when water vapor condenses into bigger and bigger droplets of water. When the drops are heavy enough, they fall to the Earth. ... These ice crystals then fall to the Earth as snow, hail, or rain, depending on the temperature within the cloud and at the Earth's surface. after that the rain ️ is

runoff from the top to the bottom. Next is Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. ... The infiltration capacity decreases as the soil moisture content of soils surface layers increases. If the precipitation rate exceeds the infiltration rate, runoff will usually occur unless there is some physical barrier. I hope it help you.
