Hi Shana!
Only about 3% of Earth's water is freshwater stored in glaciers and ice, below the ground and in rivers and lakes. The remaining 97% of Earth's water is contained in the oceans.

The water cycle is powered by energy from the sun. Solar radiation causes evaporation which is ultimately responsible for getting water vapor into the atmosphere.
Let me know if you need any clarification or have other questions!

Condensation is water vapor returning to the liquid state. In the atmosphere, condensation forms clouds and ultimately causes precipitation. Evaporation is water changing from the liquid phase into the gas phase and entering the atmosphere.
Transpiration is a process by which moisture is released into the atmosphere by plants. In essence, transpiration is the same as evaporation since both processes release water vapor into the atmosphere.

Groundwater is water that is found below the Earth's surface. The water table is the level below surface in which the ground becomes saturated in water.
