- As the warm, moist air moves over the land, it rises and cools. This process causes the water vapor in the air to condense into tiny droplets, forming clouds.
- As these clouds grow larger and denser, the water droplets become too heavy to stay suspended in the air, and they fall as rain.
- The amount of rain that falls depends on the temperature and humidity of the air, as well as the speed and direction of the wind.
