Precipitation

Chapter 7. Precipitation. Precipitation Processes. Precipitation is any form of water that falls from a cloud and reaches the ground. How do cloud drops grow? When air is saturated with respect to a flat surface it is unsaturated with respect to a curved droplet of water. Super saturated.
