well, radiation would evaporate water from (primarily) oceans into water vapor, once it reaches the clouds, it condenses untill it becomes saturated and too heavy, so it precipitates
What else can I help you with?
Does the Bergeron Process produce rain or snow?
The Bergeron Process mainly produces snow, by which supercooled water droplets freeze onto ice nuclei in cold clouds. Rain is primarily associated with the collision-coalescence process in warmer clouds.
Does a stratus cloud produce snow?
Status clouds can produce snow or rain depending on what conditions are present.
What process can produce either rain or snow?
The process that can produce either rain or snow is called precipitation. When water droplets or ice crystals in the clouds grow large enough, they fall to the ground as rain if temperatures are above freezing, and as snow if temperatures are below freezing.
Do produce rain or snowcumulonimbus and nimbostratus clouds?
I believe this question was intended to be: "Do cumulonimbus and nimbostratus clouds produce rain or snow?" The answer to this question is: "Yes, both types of clouds CAN produce precipitation, including rain and/or snow, depending on the temperature in the atmosphere."
When water falls to the earth as rain or snow what process is occurring?
The process occurring when water falls to the earth as rain or snow is called precipitation. This is the release of water from clouds in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
What can westerlies produce over the US?
They can create rain and snow
What weather conditions produce snow?
High humidity cold weather and rain.
What do Nimbus clouds produce?
Nimbus clouds usually produce precipitation. When this precipitation hits the surface of the earth, it can appear as hail, snow, hail, and rain.
How much snow does3 mm of rain equal?
There is no direct conversion between rain and snow because the amount of snow that is produced from a given amount of rain can vary greatly depending on factors such as temperature and humidity. On average, 10 mm of rain is roughly equivalent to 1 cm of snow. So, 3 mm of rain could potentially produce around 0.3 cm of snow.
Which group of clouds produce rain?
The names of the groups of clouds that can produce rain are nimbostratus and cumulonimbus. The nimbostratus clouds are the ones we see that become very dark and produce a lot of rain or snow. The cumulonimbus clouds are responsible for lighter rain and thunderstorms.
What is the process of rain called?
The process of rain is called precipitation. This occurs when water droplets in the atmosphere combine to form larger droplets or ice crystals, which then fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
What kind of weather is associated with warm fronts?
As the warm air rises the water vapor in it condenses into clouds that can produce rain, snow, sleet or freezing rain, often all four. (Related:Storms that bring rain, ice, and snow)
