The whole water cycle is evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and then infiltration, and at last it is runoff. Ocean is between the runoff and the evaporation. The rain runoff to the ocean and then start over the water cycle from evaporation.
Precipitation and Evaporation hope this helps :)
The ocean is located between the runoff and evaporation steps of the water cycle. Water flows to the ocean from the land as runoff and is then evaporated back into the atmosphere. This process allows the water cycle to continue circulating water through the environment.
