Seeps into the ground and becomes groundwater.
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?

Percipitation occurs at the point where?
Precipitation happens when the weight of condensed water (or ice) is sufficient to cause it to fall. It does not have to reach the ground.
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?

Precipitation that sinks into the ground is called?
Precipitation that sinks into the ground is called Groundwater.
