Water cycle starting at the point where the water is in a lake?

The water cycle begins when water in a lake is heated by the sun, causing evaporation, where it transforms from liquid to vapor and rises into the atmosphere. As the water vapor cools, it condenses into tiny droplets, forming clouds. Eventually, when the droplets combine and grow heavy enough, they fall back to the earth as precipitation, such as rain or snow, which can flow back into the lake or into other bodies of water, continuing the cycle. This process is essential for replenishing freshwater resources and maintaining ecological balance.
