How did the water cycle evolve?

Answer 1

It is a natural cycle. It did not evolve, it just happened. Humans did evolve, but a cycle does not evolve. The water cycle is basically water being evaporated and being put back in to a body of water. IT evaporates from the sun and is put back from rain, those did not evolve(well the sun did, but thats not my point).

Answer 2

The Water Cycle (also known as the hydrologic cycle) is the journey water takes as it circulates from the land to the sky and back again.

The Sun's heat provides energy to evaporate water from the Earth's surface (oceans, lakes, etc.). Plants also lose water to the air (this is called transpiration). The water vapor eventually condenses, forming tiny droplets in clouds. When the clouds meet cool air over land, precipitation (rain, sleet, or snow) is triggered, and water returns to the land (or sea). Some of the precipitation soaks into the ground. Some of the underground water is trapped between rock or clay layers; this is called groundwater. But most of the water flows downhill as runoff (above ground or underground), eventually returning to the seas as slightly salty water.

Answer 3

The cycle started when the earth started cooling. The vapors (consisting of hydrogen and oxygen) started to cool al fall to earth. Over time the vapor in the form of droplets made it to earth and then were vaporized again and the process kept repeating.
