In dry climates, rates of evaporation exceed precipitation

Evaporation is an important process in the global water cycle. Sunrays hits the surface of water or land and causes water to change state from a liquid to a gas. This is what we call evaporation. When evaporation occurs, at the same time precipitation occurs in the atmosphere which is the water falling from the clouds as rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. As the rate of evaporation increases, the rate of precipitations increases too because both are connected to each other.
