Question 1 Water and carbon cycles fo] 4]-[4] Which of the following describes a cause of precipitation? A 02 As air rises from the Earth’s surface due to convection, it warms as it gets higher and changes state from liquid to ice. At acold front, warmer, less dense air is forced to sink under denser, colder air leading to cloud formation along the front. When air is forced to rise over hills it cools, water vapour condenses forming clouds and water then falls to the surface of the Earth. When the humidity of the air decreases, it means more liquid water can change state and become water vapour.
