Water Cycle:

Evaporation is the physical process of a liquid or solid changing over to a gaseous state. The energy released from the earth's sun causes the water molecules to speed up and change from a liquid state to a gaseous state. Evapotranspiration is when this process occurs through plants.

In the video to the left the sun is the driving force behind evapotranspiration and evaporation. Water is converted from a solid or liquid to a gas.

Note that once water vapor rises to a certain height condensation begins as see by clouds.
