Precipitation has a couple definitions. It can refer to any condensed moisture like rain, snow, hail, etc. , along with their formations. It can also refer to suspension formation in solutions.

What are the 11 steps in the water cycle?

Frankly there are NOT 11 steps in the water cycle, you could say that for the Global hydrological cycle but not a spicific places water cycle. The 4 stages are Evaporation, Condensation,Preticipation and collection


What does the word preticipation mean in the water cycle?

I think the word you're referring to is 'precipitation'. After water vapor in the air condenses and becomes tiny droplets of liquid water, and the tiny droplets merge to form larger, heavier drops that are too heavy to remain suspended in the air, "precipitation" refers to the rain, snow, sleet, hail, or drizzle that falls to the surface.


How do you separate potassium nitrate and water using separating techniques?

One common method to separate potassium nitrate and water is by using the process of evaporation. The solution containing both substances is heated until the water evaporates, leaving behind solid potassium nitrate. Another method is through filtration, where the solution is passed through a filter paper to separate the solid potassium nitrate from the liquid water.


What is ice rain?

Ice rain, also known as freezing rain, is a type of precipitation that occurs when raindrops become supercooled as they pass through a cold layer of air near the Earth's surface. The supercooled droplets freeze upon contact with surfaces, creating a thin layer of ice. This can create hazardous conditions for travel and can lead to power outages and damage to trees and structures.


How does rain make the water cycle?

Simply, gravity and static electricity. Rising clouds cool and form droplets around dust particles. The drops eventually fall because of gravity and kinetic energy is expressed. As they fall in large groups they fly past air molecules, where static electricity is generated. All the static electricity creates a large negative charge which can be expressed as lighting which gets discharged to other clouds or to ground. More kinetic energy.
