Question

what is the difference between evaporation and precipitation

Answer 1

Answer:

Evaporation: This is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas). ... Precipitation: This is when water (in the form of rain, snow, hail or sleet) falls from clouds in the sky.

Answer 2

EVAPORATION -

• The primary pathway for water phasic conversion from liquid to vapor.
• The process causes a cooling effect on the surrounding environment.
• Evaporation is a surface phenomenon with the evaporation of high-energy molecules from the liquid surface.
• Evaporation plays an important role in the water cycle.
• The factors affecting the rate of evaporation are - humidity, temperature, air pressure.

PRECIPITATION -

• The process of condensation of water vapor into water droplets.
• The phenomenon takes place in the clouds and the release of water.
• If the precipitates are heavy, they fall to the earth's surface such as snow, hail, rain, sleet, or freezing rain.
• It is one of the important part of the water cycle by delivering the water to the earth's surface.
