When water, ice, or snow falls from clouds to the earth, that is
A
evaporation
B
condensation
C
transpiration
D
precipitation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the earth. It comes in many forms, like rain, sleet, and snow. Along with evaporation and condensation, precipitation is one of the three major parts of the global water cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is A rain. Rain is the liquid form of precipitation. Once rain has fallen, a lot of it goes into oceans, rivers, lakes and streams.

Detailed explanation-3: -Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Snow is precipitation in the form of ice crystals. It originates in clouds when temperatures are below the freezing point (0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit), when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses directly into ice without going through the liquid stage.

Detailed explanation-5: -This depends on the temperature within the cloud and the Earth’s surface. So, the correct answer is an option(A): Waterfalls in the solid or liquid state from the clouds to the ground. Precipitation is the term which means when the water falls from the cloud under gravity means ground in solid or liquid form.
