Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High rates of precipitation are primarily due to air rising and cooling (A), as cool air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air (B), leading to condensation and precipitation when the water vapor from the cooled air condenses (D). While air does gain moisture as it rises over warm surfaces, the key factor in high precipitation rates is the cooling and condensation process, not the gaining of moisture during ascent (C), which is not a direct cause of high precipitation rates.
