Precipitation in the water cycle occurs when water vapor condenses from the air and falls as water or ice. Normally this is caused by cooling either from an air mass or from a temperature drop at higher altitude.
Precipitation in a chemical reaction occurs when chemical products are insoluble in a solution, or when the solution cannot hold the total volume of solutes present.
What else can I help you with?
When occurs precipitation?
Precipitation is rain.
What percentage of the earth's precipitation occurs over oceans?
Approximately 71 of the Earth's precipitation occurs over oceans.
What is This occurs when cooler air cannot retain all its vapor?
precipitation
What type of precipitation occurs in Tennessee?
Tennessee can get any type of precipitation, but rain is most prevalent.
What are two types of precipitation?
Two types of precipitation are rain and snow. Rain occurs when water droplets in clouds become heavy enough to fall to the ground, while snow occurs when water vapor in clouds freezes into ice crystals before falling.
What type of precipitation occurs when it is above freezing?
Sleet
How much precipitation occurs over the ocean in the water cycle?
Precipitation over the ocean in the water cycle accounts for about 45 of the total global precipitation.
The earths precipitation occurs as convectional orographic or?
The Earth's precipitation occurs through convectional, orographic, or frontal mechanisms. Convectional precipitation happens when warm air rises, cools, and forms clouds. Orographic precipitation occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain, leading to cooling and rainfall. Finally, frontal precipitation happens at the boundary of two air masses with different temperatures and moisture levels, causing the warm air to rise and condense into precipitation.
What occurs when cooler cannot retain all its vapor?
precipitation
Why is there less precipitation in southern Europe?
That is not true. Most precipitation in Europe occurs in Southern Europe. This is due to the Mediterranean Sea.
Which variable normally increases before precipitation occurs?
Humidity is a variable that typically increases before precipitation occurs. As moisture in the atmosphere rises, clouds form and eventually lead to precipitation in the form of rain, snow, or other forms of moisture.
What are 2 reasons that precipitation occurs?
Precipitation occurs when water droplets in the atmosphere combine to form larger droplets that become too heavy to remain suspended, leading to them falling as rain or snow. Another reason for precipitation is when warm, moist air rises and cools, causing the moisture to condense and fall as precipitation.
