When moisture falls to the ground from cloud what is it called?
It is rain.
What must happen before rain falls from a cloud?
condensation
Is condensation a liquid?
condensation does not for clouds. water vapor comes up to the clouds and turns back to water. then it falls as precipitation. which is fog , sleet, snow, rain and hail. and fog is a low cloud.
How does rain die out?
it dosent it just falls out of the cloud when the moisture gets to heavy, then the water evaporates and turns into a cloud again
What is it called when moisture from a cloud falls back to earth?
This is called precipitation. It can be rain or snow.
What happen to vapor as it rises?
It condenses into a cloud up in the atmosphere and then gets precipitated back. We would be talking about the water cycle here. In this question we would be talking about the step called Evaporation. In the cloud, it condenses, that would be the step Condensation. Then when the cloud is full of condensed water, it falls back to the ground as precipitation, not in the same place of course!
What is the correct term for moisture that falls to the ground?
Infiltration describes the movement of moisture from the surface into the ground. Percolation is the word used to describe the movement of a fluid through a porous and permeable medium such as soil.
Is fog condensation?
No fog isn't precipitation. Mist is though especially Scotch mist. Fog isn't precipitation because it is suspended, like a cloud, and never falls like rain and cannot be measured. Virga is precipitation that evaporates before hitting the ground and Scotch mist is almost like a very very fine rain.
What is artificial rain inducement?
Artificial rain inducement is know as cloud seeding. There are three methods for cloud seeding: static, dynamic and hygroscopic.Static cloud seeding is done by spreading silver iodide, or another chemical substance like it, into clouds. The moisture in the air condenses around the silver iodide molecules and then falls to the ground in the form of rain.Dynamic cloud seeding is basically a much more complex form of static cloud seeding. Dynamic cloud seeding is divided into eleven complicated steps, and failure to properly complete one of them can result in the ruin of the entire project. Thus, dynamic cloud seeding is generally considered more unstable than static cloud seeding.Hygroscopic cloud seeding involves shooting salt crystals into the lower regions of clouds. The moisture in the clouds condenses on the salt crystals and than falls down to the grown as rain.
What is the differences between rain and dew?
rain falls and dew doesnt
What word begins with p is the name you give to moisture that falls from the air to the ground such as snow sleet hail drizzle and rain?
precipitation
What are some other ways that you have noticed condensation?
Water in the air changes back to a liquid in a process called condensation outdoor water that comes back out of the air can do so in a lot of different ways rain occurs when a certain amount of water condenses in a cloud and then falls.
