This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Precipitation, drops of liquid water fall to the earth can form in two ways, form in two ways when ice crystals melt, begin to fall then are pushed back up by winds, rain is the most common form of precipitation, water vapor (gas) turns directly into ice (solid) can be in the form of ice pellets, water vapor (gas) turns directly into ice (solid) can be in the form of snowflakes, Precipitation can be hail, rain that freezes while it's falling is NOT light and fluffy, freezing rain happens when rain freezes the moment it touches something, Precipitation is an important part of the water cycle, drops of liquid water fall to the earth can be last different lengths of time, snow forms when water vapor (gas) turns directly into ice (solid), Precipitation can be sleet, ice crystals form in clouds then begin to fall, Precipitation can be freezing rain, rain happens when drops of liquid water fall to the earth, sleet can be a mixture of snow and rain, grow/freeze more then repeat until hail stones are too heavy and fall to the earth, Precipitation can be rain, are pushed back up by winds then grow/freeze more
