Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Construct a flow chart illustrating the process from small droplet formation to the falling of precipitation. Include coalescence and growth as key stages.
💡 Hint: Use visual elements to represent each stage clearly.
Evaluate the effect of increased temperatures on droplet growth and overall precipitation. How would this be observed in a real scenario?
💡 Hint: Consider how temperature relates to humidity and precipitation patterns.
