Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The collision-coalescence process involves the collision of smaller cloud droplets with larger droplets, leading to the coalescence and formation of larger droplets. This process is dependent upon the different downward velocities of different-sized droplets, as larger droplets fall faster and are more likely to collide with smaller droplets. This process is more common in warm clouds and is an important process in the formation of rain.
