Evaporation (from rivers, lakes, seas etc), followed by condensation (as clouds) then precipitation (rain etc) followed by various forms of infiltration, percolation and other such lovelies to deliver the water back to the bodies from which it gets evaporated :)

The water cycle consists of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection of water in oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. Evaporation occurs when water from bodies of water and land surfaces changes into water vapor due to heat. Condensation is when the water vapor cools and turns back into liquid water droplets. Precipitation happens when the water droplets come together to form clouds and fall back to the Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
The steps of water cycle include:EVaporation of waterCondensationPrecipitationThe water is recycled using this method.
Evaporation, Transpiration, Condensation , Precipitation Absorptionl, Infiltration, Ground water, and then runoff Those are the steps of the water cycle! made by Trey Cuellar
Frankly there are NOT 11 steps in the water cycle, you could say that for the Global hydrological cycle but not a spicific places water cycle. The 4 stages are Evaporation, Condensation,Preticipation and collection
Evaporation, condensation, advection, percipitation, runoff, groundwater, infiltration, transpiration, and sublimation(not in order)
The Sun's energy drives evaporation of water from bodies of water on Earth. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, where it cools and condenses into clouds. Eventually, the condensed water falls back to Earth as precipitation, completing the water cycle.
