If water falls from a cloud but disappears before reaching the ground, which idea is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Evaporation occurred in the lower air

Correct answer: A, evaporation occurred in the lower air. Precipitation begins when water droplets or ice particles become large enough to fall from a cloud. If the air below the cloud is warm and relatively dry, the falling droplets lose water to the air by evaporation. They may disappear completely before reaching the surface. This phenomenon is commonly called virga, so precipitation is visible beneath the cloud but does not produce rainfall at the ground. B is wrong because the water never reaches the ground as heavy rain. C is wrong because falling droplets do not turn into rock. D is wrong because the cloud did contain water; the droplets simply evaporated during their fall. Memory cue: cloud precipitation plus dry air below can mean virga, not surface rain.
