Where does water move continuously between Earths surface and the atmosphere?

Water moves continuously between Earth's surface and the atmosphere through the process of evaporation and condensation. Water evaporates from surfaces like bodies of water, soil, and plants, rising into the atmosphere as water vapor. Then, as the water vapor cools and condenses, it forms clouds and eventually falls back to the surface as precipitation, completing the continuous cycle of water movement.
