The same cloud precipitates snow on a mountain and rain in the nearby valley. Does the Bergeron process or the collision-coalescence theory best describe the process causing precipitation from that cloud?

Answer:

Bergeron process

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a process when precipitate is formed in mixed cloud of temperature below freezing because equilibrium pressure of water vapour with respect to ice is less compared to that of liquid water.
