Question

Fill in the blanks to complete the passage. ​

The water droplets come together to form ___(i). These get heavy and the air can not hold them, therefore, they fall down as __ (ii). However, if the temperature is very low, they freeze in the atmosphere and fall as __(iii)​.

• A. (i) - rain, (ii) - clouds, (iii) - snow
• B. (i) - clouds, (ii) - rain, (iii) - snow​
• C. (i) - snow, (ii) - rain, (iii) - large droplets​
• D. i) - clouds, (ii) - snow, (iii) - large droplets​

Answer 1

The correct option is B (i) - clouds, (ii) - rain, (iii) - snow​

• Water vapours in the atmosphere get converted into tiny droplets of water due to condensation. Many tiny droplets combine to form bigger drops. This process results in the formation of cloud​s.

• The water droplets in the clouds get heavy and the air cannot hold them. Thus, they fall down as rain. However, if the temperature is very low, the rain drops freeze in the atmosphere and fall down as snow. This process by which the water falls back on Earth in the form of rain, snow or hail is called precipitation​.
