Water released from clouds as rain or snow is called?

• A. Precipitation
• B. Condensation
• C. Transpiration
• D. Evaporation

Answer: (A)

Precipitation is the process by which water falls from the atmosphere to Earth, including rain and snow. In clouds, water vapor condenses into droplets; when these droplets grow too large or collide with others, gravity pulls them down to the surface as precipitation. This is the stage of the water cycle that delivers moisture back to land and can influence rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Condensation is the change of water vapor into liquid that forms clouds. Evaporation is when liquid water becomes water vapor and rises into the air. Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants.
