Which option is not an example of precipitation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Evaporation

Direct answer: D, evaporation is not precipitation. Precipitation means water falling from clouds or the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface in forms such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Evaporation is the opposite direction in the water cycle: liquid water at the surface gains energy and changes into water vapour, which rises or mixes into the air. A is precipitation because rain falls as liquid drops. B is precipitation because snow falls as ice crystals or snowflakes. C is precipitation because hailstones are solid pieces of ice that fall from clouds. The key confusion is between water moving downward as precipitation and water changing into vapour during evaporation. Memory cue: precipitation comes down; evaporation goes up as vapour.
