ATemperature can be very low at heightBLava is always present at heightCThere is no air at heightDVapour is rock at height

Question 7MediumLevel 93

Which statement correctly describes the relation between clouds and precipitation?

AThey can melt into liquid dropsBThey will always become large hailCThey will become rockDThey will move back upward

Question 12MediumLevel 93

What is the main difference between precipitation and condensation?
