Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clouds form through both deposition and condensation processes, but not through evaporation. Deposition refers to the phase change from gas directly to solid, and condensation is the change from gas to liquid, both of which contribute to cloud formation. Evaporation, on the other hand, is the process of liquid turning into vapor, which is not a direct part of forming clouds but rather contributes to the moisture available in the atmosphere for cloud formation.
