Cumulus puffy with vertical structure. Precipitation. We’ve studied the water cycle, and last week we focused on the “Condensation”. part. Now, we are going to discuss the precipitation part of the water cycle.. Let’s watch this video on Precipitation!. "Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head" B.J. Thompson (1969). INTRODUCTION. How much rain do you get in your area?. How about snow?. This amount varies around the world. . For example, people living in Spokane, Washington get much more rain than those in Phoenix, Arizona.. What is precipitation?. Water that falls from the sky, it can be in different forms.. Hail, sleet, snow, rain.. Rain. As warm air rises into the atmosphere it cools. The air creates water vapor which condenses and forms into clouds. Once the clouds are big enough and are holding enough water it begins to rain.. marine boundary . layer . cloud campaigns?.
