Depending on near ground temperatures precipitation will be seen as rain or snow. If the winds aloft are strong enough, the precipitation could be sleet, or hail. You might want to visit a dictionary before asking questions such as this one. The in cloud situation is that water vapor condenses, usually on something in the cloud with it, such as dust particles. Once sufficient moisture has condensed it begins to fall as rain, or snow, typically.

What might you see if refraction occurred during precipitation?

If refraction occurs during precipitation, it is possible that a rainbow will be visible after the storm. Rainbows are produced when the eye can actually see the bending of light rays that is not normally visible.


What happens when vapour rises?

When vapor rises, it cools and condenses into liquid droplets. This process forms clouds in the atmosphere. Eventually, the condensation droplets may combine and fall as precipitation.


What happens when the water droplets get to heavy?

When water droplets become too heavy, they fall from the sky as precipitation in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This process is known as precipitation, and it occurs when the moisture in the clouds becomes too heavy to be supported by the air.


Does precipitation increase energy or decrease energy?

Precipitation typically releases energy as it condenses from water vapor to form clouds and eventually falls as rain or snow. This energy is initially absorbed from the surroundings during the evaporation process and is released when the water vapor condenses.


What happens during evaporation and how does it contribute to the water cycle?

During evaporation, water changes from a liquid to a gas due to heat energy. This process occurs when water molecules at the surface gain enough energy to escape into the air. Evaporation contributes to the water cycle by transferring water from the Earth's surface into the atmosphere, where it can later condense and fall back to the Earth as precipitation, completing the cycle.

What is the Difference between co precipitation and post precipitation?

• Precipitation is settling down of insoluble particles from a solution. Co-precipitation is a process in which normally soluble compounds are carried out of solution by a precipitate. • In precipitation, normally insoluble compounds are precipitated. But in co-precipitation normally soluble compounds are precipitated. • Co-precipitation incorporates contaminants into the precipitate, whereas precipitation can result in both pure and contaminated precipitates.


What happens during each of three processes that make up the water cycle?

What happens to a water particle during precipitation?

During precipitation, a water particle is released from the clouds. This particle can be in the form of a water droplet of rain, sleet, snow, freezing rain or even hail.

Solidification involves conversion of water to ice. It happens during snowfall in precipitation.


What type of precipitation happens during Tsunamis?

A tsunami is not a storm. It is a wave created by an earthquake or landslide. A tsunami can strike during any kind of weather.


What happens in the step precipitation in the water cycle?

This step comes after condensation (after the formation of clouds. During this step, clouds release water through precipitation. Examples are rain and snow. Basically, precipitation is water falling from the clouds to the earth.

The process that which water is returned to the atmosphere?

The process by which water is returned to the atmosphere is called evaporation. During this process, the sun heats up water bodies like oceans, lakes, and rivers, causing the water to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere. This water vapor eventually cools and condenses to form clouds, which can lead to precipitation in the form of rain or snow, completing the water cycle.
