What are the processes water moves through, in order, as it moves from the surface of a lake to a cloud in the sky?

Evaporation: lake water goes from liquid to solid state

Condensation: goes back from gas to liquid

Precipitation: water particles become to heavy and fall ... rain

Theres also a step that some may include or not ... if I recall, correctly, it's called "runoff". Water goes back to the river in an ideal case. This should complete the cycle.
