What is precipitation ?

Precipitation means falls of water , snow , solid , Iiquid state from clouds to ground .

70.8 % part of the earth's surface is full of water .  The distribution of this water is very uneven .

At , some places , the water storage is limited while it is ample at other places .

We see and experience the different forms of condensation .

These forms of condensation occur due to water vapour in the atmosphere .

As the atmospheric conditions change , we see changes in the forms of condensation .

On winter mornings , we find dew which are falled on leafed and all other objecta which were under sky at night .

In areas located at higher altitudes , snowfall occurs ;  while it rains in other places . 

Some places experience dense fog while some places experiences hailstones suddenly and face crop destruction . 

Rainfall  :-  1) We generally get water in the form of rainfall . 

2) The temperature of the air with water vapour reduces when it goes higher .

3) Condensation of the vapour occurs .

4) Clouds form when the condensed    water droplets and dust particles accumulates .

5)  The water droplets increase in size .

6)  When they cannot float in the air anymore because of their weight , they come down as rainfall .

Snow  :-  

1)  When the temperature in the atmosphere falls below the freezing point , water vapour directly turns into snowflakes . 

2)  This is called as sublimation .

3)  Here , the vapour in the form of gas transforms into solid snow .

4)  Precipitation in the form of solid particles of snow is known as snowfall .

5)  In high latitudinal and temperate region , snowfall occurs at the mean sea level while in tropical areas , snowfall occurs at the places located higher than the snowline altitude .

6) As the snow is in the solid form , it does not flow like water .

7)  Layers of snow get deposited .

8)  When the snow accumulates on a large-scale , then the transport and the communication system of that area collapses .

9)  People living in those regions have to protect themselves from frostbite .

10)  At last snow melts , the region gets water .
