In the water cycle, the water moves in an infinite cycle unless stopped by artificial thing, like humans harvesting it. It can evaporate from ocean, then condense in the air, then precipitate as rain on a landmass, then it can run into rivers, which lead back to oceans, or it can go underground. Often, the water comes from ice caps in the mountains, glaciers, or from ice packs such as Antartica.

The watercycle obviously starts in oceans, lakes, ponds, etc. From there, when the sun shines on it, it heats the water and turns the small water particles into water vapor. From there, it rises into the air (into the clouds). That stage is called evaporation. The next step in the watercycle is condensation. This is when the water vapor cools in the clouds and turns back into a liquid. Lastly, when the clouds get too heavy because they are filled with water, the water precipiatates (rains) back on to the ground/oceans,lakes,ponds, etc of the earth. Finally, this exact cycle continues to repeat over and over. Thats why we call it the watercycle.
