What process in the hydrologic cycle does the snow?
The process in the hydrologic cycle that snow undergoes is called "precipitation." This is when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into ice crystals and falls to the ground as snow.
Temperatures in a cloud are below freezing a warmer air lies between the cloud and the ground what type of precipitation do you predict will occur?
Snow will form because snow falls through colder and drier air:)
Does a cold front cause heavy precipitation?
When air gets colder, the molecules move closer together. The space between the molecules of air is where water particles stay when they are in clouds or in the air you breathe. So, when the space between molecules shrinks because of colder weather, the water molecules are "squeezed out" of the air and form into precipitation that then falls to the ground.
How precipitation is made?
bodies of water are evaporated into the sky. They collect and form clouds. the vapor in the clouds are condensed and released to the ground as precipitation. It can be in the form of rain, hail, sleet, or snow.
Do earths oceans gain or lose water considering evaporation and precipitation together and how much?
Earths oceans gain water considering evaporation and precipitation together since when vapour is released to the atmosphere it condenses and later falls back as rainfall by about (1-5)%
What is water called when it falls to the ground?
precipitation
What is it called when liquid water falls from the atmosphere?
Rain? precipitation
What is Water that falls to earths surface from the atmosphere as rain snow sleet or hail?
Water from precipitation that stays on the surface, such as in lakes or streams is "surface water." Water which is absorbed into the ground (and stored in aquifers) is "ground water."
Where does the precipitation go after it falls to Earth?
Absorbed by the ground
When water that falls from the atmosphere as rain snow sleet and hail is?
Grouped as precipitation
What is precipitation and what are 3 forms of precipitation?
Precipitation is any form of water particle that falls from the atmosphere & reaches the Earth. 3 Forms of Precipitation are Hail, Snow, & Rain. :)

What does the barometer does when precipitation is present?
The barometer falls when precipitation is present because the air and air molecules are sinking to the ground.

What s the definition of precipitation?
Rain, snow, sleet or hail that falls to the ground
