¿Qué es el ciclo del agua?: precipitación

The video explains snow as a form of precipitation, comparing it with rain. It discusses various forms of precipitation, including sleet and hail, and describes how precipitation contributes to the water cycle by being absorbed into the soil or accumulating in bodies of water, eventually evaporating to restart the cycle.

• Fog

• Hail

• Rain

• Sleet

What triggers precipitation to fall from clouds?

• Increase in temperature

• Presence of strong winds

• Condensation of enough water

Once precipitation reaches the earth, it can be absorbed into the soil. What is another possible outcome?

• It accumulates in bodies of water

• It disappears into the atmosphere

• It becomes part of the air

• It turns into vapor immediately

How does precipitation contribute to the water cycle?

• By turning into clouds

• By evaporating from bodies of water

• By freezing into ice

• By staying in the soil permanently
