After condensation occurs, the water droplets fall to the Earth as different forms of

• evaporation

• condensation

• accumulation

• precipitation

The forms of precipitation are rain, snow, clouds, and hail.

• True

• False

Precipitation occurs because

• the droplets evaporate in the air

• the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold

• the droplets are too light for the air to hold
