What is another word for cloud-seeding?
Pronunciation: [klˈa͡ʊdsˈiːdɪŋ] (IPA) 
Cloud-seeding refers to the process of artificially inducing precipitation by introducing various substances into the atmosphere. In other words, it is the act of manipulating clouds to produce rain or snow. Synonyms for cloud-seeding include cloud seeding, cloud modification, cloud nucleation, atmospheric seeding, aerosol seeding, and weather modification. The method used for cloud seeding can vary, but most commonly involves dispersing substances like silver iodide, dry ice, and potassium chloride from planes or ground-based generators, to encourage the formation of precipitation-boosting particles. The idea of controlling the weather has been around for a while, and while it may not be a perfect solution, cloud seeding has shown promising results in drought-stricken areas.
