Question: When Precipitation comes down to the earth in liquid form, it is called?
Options:
Cloud
Rain
Snow
Water vapour
✅ Explanation:
Water cycle: The water from the ocean and surface of the earth goes into the air as vapour returns as rain, hail or snow and finally goes back to the oceans. The circulation of water in this manner is known as the water cycle.
Evaporation, Transpiration, Condensation and Precipitation are the major process of the water cycle.
Evaporation: The conversion of water into water vapours; occurs when water evaporates from water bodies or soil in the water cycle.
Transpiration: The loss of water from the leaves of plants through stomata.
Condensation: The conversion of vapours into water; water evaporated from bodies, plants, and soil rises and cools in the atmosphere, leading to cloud formation.
Precipitation: The return of water to Earth in various forms like rain, snowfall, hail, etc.
