Question

28. Replace the following with a word or a phrase.

d. the coming down of water in the form of rain, hail, and snow

Answer 1

• The water cycle represents the movement of water in our earth's atmosphere. The liquid water present on land and sea evaporates into water vapour, then condenses to form clouds, and falls back to earth in the form of rain, hail, or snow.
• Precipitation is the process of coming down water on the Earth in the form of rain, hail, and snow.

Hence, the coming down of water in the form of rain, hail, and snow is called precipitation.
