What is the difference between hailstorm and ice storm?

A hailstorm is when the precipitation is composed of ice lumps. An ice storm is when the precipitation is freezing rain. The water stays liquid until when it hits the ground, and freezes where it hits.


What characteristics help in distinguishing the different forms of precipitation?

Some of the characteristics that distinguish the different forms of precipitation are: Whether is falls in liquid form (rain) or frozen form (snow) and whether it freezes while falling to the ground (hail, sleet) or freezes once it is on the ground (freezing rain), Wet snow is distinguished from snow by the amount of water in the snow.

How are hail and sleet similar and how are they different?

they are similar because they are all precipitation and a form of water. rain is liquid. sleet is liquid that freezes before it hit the ground but then melts when it does hit the ground (like a slushy) and hail is completely frozen into a chunk of ice


What is moisture that falls to the ground as rain sleet or snow?

The liquid has 'precipiated' out of it's previous solution - so the rain/sleet/snow is precipitation.

What is precipitation in a water cycle?

liquid or solid water falls to the ground as rain,sleet,snow,and hail


What happens when the temperature inversion occurs and traps cool air at the bottem and warm air at the top?

One thing that can happen is that you get freezing rain, which is precipitation that falls as a liquid (through warmer air aloft) and then freezes on the ground or near the ground because the inversion has caused colder air to accumulate at the surface. This can present a dangerous situation for driving.


Is any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches the ground?

In solid form: sleet, hail, snow In liquid form: rain, drizzle, fog
