Incorrect statement about precipitation -

c. Cooling of air can occur when cooler air masses rise above warmer air masses at front.

Explanation:

Precipitation -

Precipitation is the process of condensation of the atmospheric water vapor that falls by gravity.

The forms of precipitation are - rain, sleet, snow, hail, drizzle and graupel.

The process of precipitation occurs when, the atmosphere gets saturated with water vapor, and then the water gets condenses and precipitates.

precipitation leads to smaller droplets via collision with the other rain drops or the ice crystals within the cloud.

Short intense interval of rain in scattered locations are known as, showers.
