Q1. Read the following passage and answer the questions given. Precipitation, commonly referred to rainfall, is a measure of the quantity of atmospheric water in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow that reaches the ground. It is formed 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. The amount of precipitation pertaining to an area is the result of several factors, including location, altitude, proximity to the sea and the direction of prevailing winds. Any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere falls back to the earth in many forms. Along with evaporation and condensation, precipitation is one of the three major parts of the global water cycle. It should be understood that all precipitation is not measured in the same way. For example, a foot of snow does not equal a foot of precipitation. As per the general formula, ten inches of snow equals one inch of precipitation. On the other hand, fifty inches of rain is measured as fifty inches of precipitation. A common misconception is that when raindrops fall, they have a teardrop shape. In fact, smaller raindrops are almost perfectly spherical. Larger raindrops are also round, but with a small indent on their bottom side. They look more like kidney beans when falling. Very large rain drops have a huge indent and look more like a parachute. As per the passage, precipitation forms in the clouds when
