Precipitation vs. Coagulation

Precipitationnoun

(meteorology) Any or all of the forms of water particles, whether liquid or solid, that fall from the atmosphere (e.g., rain, hail, snow or sleet). It is a major class of hydrometeor, but it is distinguished from cloud, fog, dew, rime, frost, etc., in that it must fall. It is distinguished from cloud and virga in that it must reach the ground.

Precipitationnoun

A hurried headlong fall.

Precipitationnoun

A reaction that leads to the formation of a heavier solid in a lighter liquid; the precipitate so formed at the bottom of the container.

Precipitationnoun

(figuratively) Unwise or rash rapidity; sudden haste.

Precipitationnoun

The act of precipitating, or the state of being precipitated, or thrown headlong.

Precipitationnoun

A falling, flowing, or rushing downward with violence and rapidity.

Precipitationnoun

Great hurry; rash, tumultuous haste; impetuosity.

Precipitationnoun

The act or process of precipitating from a solution.

Precipitationnoun

A deposit on the earth of hail, mist, rain, sleet, or snow; also, the quantity of water deposited.

Precipitationnoun

the quantity of water falling to earth at a specific place within a specified period of time;

Precipitationnoun

Precipitationnoun

the falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist)

Precipitationnoun

Precipitationnoun

an unexpected acceleration or hastening;

Precipitationnoun

Precipitationnoun

rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to or condenses on the ground

Precipitationnoun

Precipitation

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravitational pull from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzling, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail.

Coagulationnoun

The precipitation of suspended particles as they increase in size (by any of several physical or chemical processes)

Coagulationnoun

The process by which blood forms solid clots.

Coagulationnoun

Similar solidification of other materials (e.g. of tofu).

Coagulationnoun

The change from a liquid to a thickened, curdlike, insoluble state, not by evaporation, but by some kind of chemical reaction; as, the spontaneous coagulation of freshly drawn blood; the coagulation of milk by rennet, or acid, and the coagulation of egg albumin by heat. Coagulation is generally the change of an albuminous body into an insoluble modification.

Coagulationnoun

The substance or body formed by coagulation.

Coagulationnoun

the process of forming semisolid lumps in a liquid

Coagulation

Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.
