The process is called evaporation. It occurs when enough heat is added to the water to allow some of it to change state from liquid to gas. The additional heat is called the Latent Heat of Vaporization.

What are the 4 reservoirs of water in the water cycle?
The four main reservoirs of water in the water cycle are the oceans, atmosphere, land, and glaciers. Water evaporates from the surface of the oceans and forms clouds in the atmosphere. These clouds then release precipitation, which falls on the land and can be stored in lakes, rivers, and groundwater. Some of the water also accumulates in glaciers and ice caps.
How is water stored on earth?
reservoirs aquifers glaciers ice-caps streams plants animals
Where can you see water?
There are 2 main sources of water: groundwater and surface water. Groundwater lies under the surface of the land, where it travels through and fills openings in the rocks. Groundwater is pumped from these rocks to the earth's surface for use. Surface water is found in natural resources like rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.
What is the process that carries sediments into rivers?

What are sources in drinking water?
Our drinking water comes from surface water and ground water. Surface waters include rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. While ground water is pumped from wells that are drilled into aquifers.

What are the characteristics of oases?

The four main reservoirs of water in the water cycle are the oceans, atmosphere, land, and glaciers. Water evaporates from the surface of the oceans and forms clouds in the atmosphere. These clouds then release precipitation, which falls on the land and can be stored in lakes, rivers, and groundwater. Some of the water also accumulates in glaciers and ice caps.
