Briefly summarize the collision–coalescence process

What will be an ideal response?


The collision–coalescence process forms with warm clouds, typically in the tropics, where clouds composed entirely of liquid droplets contain some droplets at least 20 micrometers in size. As these large droplets fall through the air, they collide with smaller droplets. After many of these collisions, the droplets may grow large enough to fall to the surface without evaporating.
