Explanation: The amount of precipitation in a given region depends on the amount of available atmospheric water vapour (precipitable water), as well as on the processes that cause condensation, in particular the uplift of air associated with cyclones and fronts, as well as convection. If all the water vapour in the atmosphere were condensed, the earth’s surface would be covered, on average, with a 25 mm layer of water. |
