Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mark notices a puddle of water on his way home from school. The next day the puddle is gone. What most likely happened to the puddle of water? It evaporated.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water at the Earth’s surface evaporates into water vapor, then rises up into the sky to become part of a cloud which will float off with the winds, eventually releasing water back to Earth as precipitation.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is called condensation. Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow.

Detailed explanation-4: -When rain falls or snow melts, some of the water evaporates, some is transpired by plants, some flows overland and collects in streams, and some infiltrates into the pores or cracks of the soil and rocks.
