Answer 1

Answer:

B. Precipitation.

Explanation:

Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth. It comes in many forms, like rain, sleet, and snow.

Answer 2

Answer:

Precipitation

Explanation:

Precipitation occurs when water vapour in the atmosphere condenses and falls back to the earth as rainfall or precipitation. Water vapour is gaseous, when it is cooled, it condenses to the liquid state. Hence precipitation has to do with cooling of water vapour that escapes from the earth surface. This cooling occurs in the cloud and then precipitation follows. See image attached for more details.
