State whether the following is true or false.
Breakup of large drops can accelerate the overall production of rain water.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: D

Correct answer: True

Breakup returns a large drop as several smaller ones, each of which is a fresh collector sweeping its own path through the cloud. The total collecting surface is increased, so the chain reaction of collection and breakup can convert cloud water to rain faster than growth alone would.
