Percipitation
Pericipitation
Liquid or fozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls down on to earth
Are usually caused because of condensation of water vapor when particles collide
Percipitation usually measured in milimeters using technology such as the standard gauge, the tipping bucket gauge and the weighing gauge
Topography
Topography
Is the study of the forms and features of land surfaces.
Topography usually involves mathematical assessments of elevation and streamflow
Topography makes use of technology such as GPS, EDM, and TST.
