Types of Precipitation distinguishes between the various forms of precipitation, including rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and hail.

Explore the fascinating process of rain and the water cycle. From evaporation to condensation and ultimately precipitation, we learn how water transforms and falls from the sky. We also discover the different forms of precipitation, such...

Precipitation (falling rain and snow) is our fresh water reservoir in the sky and is fundamental to life on Earth. This video shows the most detailed and worldwide view of rain and snowfall ever created and uses satellite measurements...

Snow is a form of precipitation that occurs when water molecules meet cold air. Learn more about the science behind winter weather.

Let's learn about different types of precipitation!

Upon viewing the Weather Around Us video series, students will be able to do the following: Define weather as the condition of the lower atmosphere close to Earth. Understand that weather is constantly changing. Understand that...

On February 27, 2019, we celebrate five years in orbit for the NASA/JAXA Global Precipitation Measurement mission, or GPM. Launched from Japan on February 27, 2014, GPM has changed the way we see precipitation. It has provided...

Now that we know about the solubility product, it's time to learn about some applications for this concept. First, we can use this to predict whether precipitation will occur in a particular solution, and take measures to cause or...

In this video, we learn about the water cycle and how water continually moves and changes from place to place and from phase to phase. The video explains the three main steps of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, and...

This beautiful program illustrates the key components of the water cycle that occurs everywhere around us. Concepts and terminology: condensation, evaporation, precipitation, cloud, rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

This live-action video program is about precipitation. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the term through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...

From source to the sea, this film reveals how rivers are formed, and discovers why the Amazon River came to be so big. Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. Rivers are vital to life on Earth. Rivers are formed from meltwater from...

Hail forms inside clouds when water droplets rise into air that’s below freezing, and freeze. In a thunderstorm, water droplets are lifted by an updraft to become ice. The longer the ice stays in the freezing air, the more layers of ice...

This video discusses the phenomenon of acid rain, explaining how it is formed and its harmful effects on the environment, including soil, plants, aquatic life, and human health. The video also mentions solutions such as flue gas...
