How to use "Precipitation" in context?
Precipitation is any falling liquid, ice, snow, or mist that could result in a measurable change in the climate. Precipitation can be classified by its cause, duration, and route. Precipitation can be divided into two main categories: convective and orographic. Convective precipitations result from the motion of the atmosphere and are usually associated with thunderstorms, rain, and snow. Orographic precipitations are caused by mountains, rain forests, and the like and are usually associated with high altitude snowpacks and mountain ranges.
