The root relates to the broader concept of precipitating, with the common English equivalent being precipitation. In many sources, precipiterande functions as a cross-disciplinary label for the formation of a solid or liquid phase from a dispersed system.
In chemistry, precipiterande reactions describe situations where dissolved ions form an insoluble compound when reagents mix
In meteorology, precipiterande encompasses atmospheric processes that lead to precipitation, including condensation, cloud formation, droplet coalescence,
