Answer:

Clouds play a key role in Earth’s water cycle, carrying huge amounts of fresh water and dropping it in form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail, in a process called Precipitation.

The answer is precipitation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cycling of water which starts at lakes, ponds, rivers, and seas by evaporation of water due to sun rays, leading to cooling of water vapours at upper layers of atmosphere forming clouds, and those clouds shedding the water on landforms as rain, hail, snow etc is called water cycle. This water cycle is important for the vegetation as well as survival of any form of life in the interior of the landforms.

The process is called Precipitation.

Water evaporated into the atmosphere. Due to the very low temperature of the atmosphere, the vapor condenses and it is turned back into a non-gaseous form, and because of gravity, it falls back to the ground in various forms, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
