What type of precipitation melts on its way to the ground and stays a liquid drop of water as it hits the above freezing ground?
This type of precipitation is known as sleet. Sleet forms when snowflakes partially melt as they fall through a warmer layer of air, then refreeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground.
What type of precipitation melts before it hits the ground?
snow/rain
Does a hurricane's winds decrease as it reaches higher ground?
A hurricane's winds will start to decrease as soon as it hits land. If it hits high terrain it will weaken faster as the increase in elevation forces more of the moisture to fall as precipitation. This creates in increased risk of flooding.
What Type of precipitation that hits as a liquid and then freezes instantly when it hits the ground?
Sleet is the type of precipitation that falls as liquid but then freezes instantly upon impact with the ground. This occurs when rain from a warmer layer of air falls through a colder layer near the ground, causing it to freeze before reaching the surface.
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.
Which type of precipitation is made when falling snow melts and then freezes again before it hits the ground?
sleet
What happens to precipitation as it hits the ground?
some of it gets soaked into the ground or flows through rocks and some of flows to the nearest body of water
What is rain called that evaporates before it hits the ground?
Rain that evaporates before it hits the ground is called virga. It appears as streaks or wisps of precipitation in the sky but dissipates before reaching the surface due to evaporation.
Which type of precipitation typically cause the most damage when it hits the ground?
Hail can cause a large amount of damage if it very large.
How long does it take for an egg to fall from 1 foot?
as long as it takes until it hits the ground.
What type of precipitation that melts as it falls through the sky but then refreezes BEFORE it hits the ground as a solid ball of ice?
This type of precipitation is known as sleet. It forms when snowflakes partially melt as they pass through a layer of warm air and then refreeze into tiny ice pellets before reaching the ground.
When precipitation hits the surface what will it do?
When precipitation hits the surface, it can either infiltrate into the ground, contributing to groundwater recharge, or it can run off over the surface, leading to streams and rivers. The surface characteristics, such as soil type and vegetation, influence how much water is absorbed versus how much runs off. Additionally, precipitation can lead to surface water pooling or flooding in areas with poor drainage. Ultimately, the fate of the precipitation depends on various environmental factors.
