Any or all of the forms of water particles, whether liquid or solid, that fall from the atmosphere (e.g., rain, hail, snow or sleet). It is a major class of hydrometeor, but it is distinguished from cloud, fog, dew, rime, frost, etc., in that it must fall. It is distinguished from cloud and virga in that it must reach the ground.
A hurried headlong fall.
A reaction that leads to the formation of a heavier solid in a lighter liquid; the precipitate so formed at the bottom of the container.
Unwise or rash rapidity; sudden haste.
The precipitation of suspended particles as they increase in size (by any of several physical or chemical processes)
The process by which blood forms solid clots.
Similar solidification of other materials (e.g. of tofu).
The act of precipitating, or the state of being precipitated, or thrown headlong.
A falling, flowing, or rushing downward with violence and rapidity.
Great hurry; rash, tumultuous haste; impetuosity.
The act or process of precipitating from a solution.
A deposit on the earth of hail, mist, rain, sleet, or snow; also, the quantity of water deposited.
The change from a liquid to a thickened, curdlike, insoluble state, not by evaporation, but by some kind of chemical reaction; as, the spontaneous coagulation of freshly drawn blood; the coagulation of milk by rennet, or acid, and the coagulation of egg albumin by heat. Coagulation is generally the change of an albuminous body into an insoluble modification.
