Does evaporation go into the air after precipitation falls to earth?
No. It goes high in the sky and forms clouds.
What forms when water condenses in the Earth's atmosphere?
CLOUDS precipitation {virga, rain, sleet, hail}, dew
How does precipitation occur and what determines the type of precipitation that falls on earth?
Air holds gaseous water in it called water vapor. When the air cools the water forms into small droplets and we see clouds. When the air cools further these clouds hold larger and larger droplets of water until the large droplets fall as rain. It depends on the climate and temperature How does precipitation occur
What type of precipitation forms as rain falls though a layer of freezing air?
the water in the air freezes in extreme cold that is why it forms ice,the solid version of water these pieces of ice falling from the clouds are called as hail .
Which type of cloud forms at high altitudes does not produce precipitation and appears thin and wispy?
cirrus clouds
What forms of precipitation comes from clouds?
Rain, hail, sleet, snow, fog.
What is rain caused by?
Rain is caused when the precipitation forms into clouds and the clouds get heavy and if it is cold enough then it will snow or if it is warm the it will rain.
After a cloud forms where do the clouds go?
Clouds travel with the wind. They remain clouds until the water vapor becomes precipitation. The water cycle goes: evaporation, condensation, precipitation. Water evaporates and condenses into clouds, and then it precipitates (rain, sleet, snow).
What is the water cycle process called that forms around cold fronts?
The most prominent process along a cold front is condensation, which results in clouds and precipitation.

No. It goes high in the sky and forms clouds.

CLOUDS precipitation {virga, rain, sleet, hail}, dew
How do clouds and precipitation form?
Answer:Cloud:The sun evaporates water and the water becomes a gas called water vapor. The water vapor "clumps together" and forms a cloud.Precipitation:The vapor becomes tiny water droplets. Soon, the droplets for rain. That is called precipitation. However, precipitation can be rain, snow, hail, etc.

How does precipitations occur?
Precipitation occurs when evaporation forms clouds and the clouds release the moisture back to the earth.
