Why do higher temperatures often result in greater precipitation

1 answer

Higher temperatures often result in greater precipitation because warmer air can hold more moisture. As the air warms, it can absorb more moisture from the surface of the Earth, such as from oceans, lakes, and rivers. This moisture is then carried up into the atmosphere, where it condenses and forms clouds. When the clouds become too heavy, they release the moisture as rain or snow.
