Question

A cloud forms around 45Á south latitude and is carried through the atmosphere on the Westerlies, as shown below. As the water molecules in the cloud move through the atmosphere, which step in the water cycle is most likely to happen next?
The molecules cool and eventually condense.
The molecules break apart and eventually evaporate.
The molecules heat up and eventually rise as water vapor.
The molecules combine and eventually fall as precipitation.

Answer 1

Answer: fourth option: The molecules combine and eventually fall as precipitation.

In the cloud water is in the form of tiny, tiny drops. As the cloud gain more drops they will get in contact with each other, and due to the surface tension of water the drops will form bigger drops until the weight is too much and the drops fall as precipitation.
