accretion
How does precipitation develop?
Precipitation develops and occurs by the process of collision-coalescence. Collision-coalescence occurs when water droplets collide together to form larger droplets. These droplets get pulled to earth by gravity. Updrafts can send them back up but they will still grow larger and eventually fall to earth. The pure water remains as droplet and can super cool (-20C) below freezing. Ice crystals (super cooled water droplets) act as nucleation sites. The density of water vapor in the air prior to saturation is light and gets heavier as water droplets form. Ice or snow can occur, unless frozen water is warmed as it falls through the atmosphere resulting in rain. Dust and gas particles in the atmopshere can also act as nucleation sites for condensation to form upon. This will help create precipitation that eventually falls to earth due to weight and gravity processes.
What occurs when a contenintal and oceanic plate collide?
A tsunami occurs
Waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude in a process called?
This process is called destructive interference. This occurs when two waves collide, where one is in a trough and one is in a crest. If the waves are both a max amplitude, max crest and max trough, there will be complete destructive interference.

fusion
what is place where subduction occurs?
Where two plates collide
