the trees extract water from the atmosphere with condensation and with evaporation( and including dust particles that is on the leaves)make and seed the clouds .ice forms around the dust particles and with a change in heat melt and it starts to rain
over the sea and on the coast the clouds come from the sea ,we know this by the salt content in the rain water .
as we go inland there is less and less salt until all the rain comes from the Forrest's
the trees also let the excess water they don't need ,go deep into the ground to supply aquifers and rivers .
this is called collectively precipitation,
deforest the Forrest's and we cut down the rainmaking process ,and effect general humidity
deforest enough and the rivers dry up

Rain is a source of precipitation which forms when separate drops of water fall to the Earth's surface from clouds.
Why does it rain? How the h--- do I know. Ask Mother Nature. I'm just darned glad it does!

Water vapor condenses onto little particles of dust, salt, etc. called condensation nuclei. When enough vapor accumulates, the droplet falls as rain.

To water the plants and vegetation and add streams and watersources for river and lake life to thrive. Rain also gives us drinking water and gets us hydroelectric and nuclear power.
It is the earth's way of maintaining life.

moist air rises and cools. This causes moisture to condense creating rain.
