It is all part of the water cycle. It does not matter when it starts since nobody can really define it. However, water cycles involves 2 (or 3, for some) processes most of the time. Evaporation and transpiration (water is lost to surrounding) changes the water to water vapour, then rises up to the earth's atmosphere. It then condenses to form clouds, before it falls as rain, snow or hail as a process of precipitation. These waters would then sip into the ground as groundwater or run into the water bodies by surface runoff before the whole cycle repeats itself.

How does water return to atmosphere?
it returns to the atmosphere during evaporation
What is it called when water returns to the earths surface from the atmosphere?
It is through precipitation that water returns to the surface of the earth. It might be rain, hail, snow or another form.
How much of earths water is stored in the atmosphere?
14
What is the movement of water between earths surface and the atmosphere?
it is the water cycle
Almost all of the water vapor in earths atmosphere is contained in the?
Troposphere. This is the lowest section of the earths atmosphere that contains 75% of the earths atmosphere by mass and 99% of the earths water vapour. This section of the atmosphere starts at the surface and extends 7-20km up, the thickness depending largely on where you are in the world.
What process of the hydrolic cycle returns water to the atmosphere?
Evaporation.
Name three processes in the water cycle and state whether each process removes water from the atmosphere or returns it to the atmosphere?
Evaporation-removes waterCondensationprecipitation-Returns water
As water cycles through an ecosystem which process returns it to the atmosphere?
transpiration
Which Process of water cycle provides most of the water vapor in earths atmosphere?
Evaporation from the ocean

What if earths atmosphere was water?
we will all die!
Why is it important that water returns to the Atmosphere?
Just as the Earth's Nitrogen cycle and its Carbon cycle are cyclic, the Earth's Water Cycle is just that; Water Vapor returns to the Atmosphere to complete the Cycle.
