When water in clouds undergoes condensation, this can likely cause:

A. Both A and B
B. Precipitation
C. Evaporation
D. Only B

Asked by Angelalovely20

Answer (3)

the answer should be (D) only precipitation.
When water vapour in the cloud condenses, it forms water droplets which then fall down as rain.

The process of condensation in clouds leads to the formation of water droplets, which, upon becoming sufficiently large, fall as precipitation such as rain, snow, or hail.

When water in clouds undergoes condensation, this process can likely cause precipitation. Condensation is the transformation of water vapor into tiny liquid water droplets, which may form clouds as air cools and rises in the atmosphere. When the water droplets grow large enough within the clouds, they can no longer stay aloft and fall as precipitation, which can be in various forms including rain, snow, sleet, hail, or freezing rain depending on the temperature of the air.

The correct answer to the question is (D) Only B. Condensation in clouds leads to precipitation when water droplets become too large to remain suspended in the air. Evaporation is not a direct result of condensation; rather, it is an opposite process that happens under different conditions.
