Description:
The correct answer is:
✅ Precipitation
Why?
Precipitation is the process where water (in liquid or solid form) falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, including:
Rain
Snow
Hail
Sleet
How It Fits in the Water Cycle:
Evaporation: Water rises from surfaces → atmosphere.
Condensation: Forms clouds.
Precipitation: Returns water to the ground.
Why Not the Others?
❌ Evaporation: Moves water from surface to atmosphere (opposite direction).
❌ Transpiration: Water released by plants into the air (still part of "upward" movement).
Fun Fact: The raindrop shape is a myth—real raindrops look like tiny hamburger buns! 🍔💧
