Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which factor determines whether there will be precipitation?
A
water vapor
B
location
C
elevation
D
cloud cover
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Precipitation forms in the clouds when water vapor condenses into bigger and bigger droplets of water. When the drops are heavy enough, they fall to the earth. If a cloud is colder, like it would be at higher altitudes, the water droplets may freeze to form ice.

Detailed explanation-2: -The determining factor for precipitation type, rain, snow, or icy mix is the temperature of the atmosphere from cloud bearing altitude to the ground. If it is above freezing from the surface to roughly 1, 000 feet or more above, it will rain.
