Question

What is precipitation? Explain the water cycle.

Answer 1

Hey,

PRECIPITATION:-

Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain.

WATER CYCLE:-

The water cycle is the cycle that water goes through on Earth.

Water is essential for life as we know it. It is present throughout the Solar System, and was part of the Earth from its formation. The source of the water was the same as the source of the Earth's rock: the cloud of particles which condensed in the origin of the solar system.

•The cycle starts when water on the surface of the Earth evaporates.

•Evaporation means the sun heats the water which turns into gas.Then, water collects as water vapor in the sky. This makes clouds.

•Next, the water in the clouds gets cold. This makes it become liquid again. This process is called condensation.

•Then, the water falls from the sky as rain, snow, sleet or hail. This is called precipitation.

•The water sinks into the surface and also collects into lakes, oceans, or aquifers. It evaporates again and continues the cycle.

Answer 2

Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. 
The water cycle describes howwater evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.
