Rime is a type of ice. It is water droplets that become suspended in clouds when temperatures are below freezing. When the move out of the cloud, the droplets freeze quickly when they contact anything solid (i.e., a mountain, plant, or building). The freezing droplets coat the object with what appears to be snow or ice, but is it actually much more delicate. Rime poses a significant problem to climbers in areas such as Patagonia, particularly near Cerro Torre, where climbers are often forced to explore knew routes to avoid climbing on the delicate rime. Because Cerro Torre, and to a lesser extent Fitz Roy, are shrouded in clouds quite frequently, rime frequently forms on the rock and on Cerro Torre's mushroom cap. (Posted by Mark Williams)

What are the three ways in which ice crystals can form in a cloud?
Vapor deposition (Diffusional growth) - The vapor pressure over an ice crystal is much lower than that over a liquid droplet. Because atmospheric properties tend to move from regions of higher pressure to regions of lower pressure, water vapor surrounding liquid droplets tends to diffuse towards the ice crystals and deposit on them. This creates a deficit of water vapor above the droplet, which evaporates to make up for it. The newly evaporated water vapor also diffuses to the ice crystal, so that the ice crystal grows at the expense of the water droplet Accretion - As ice particles fall through the cloud at a higher velocity than cloud droplets, it collides and collects the supercooled droplets, which freeze upon contact with the crystal. The collected droplets are known as rime. Aggregation - Ice crystals falling through the cloud can collide with each other and stick together. This process is particularly efficient at temperatures near 0C, because the thin liquid water coating that forms on the partially melted crystals can act as an adhesive between the crystals.

What words are an example of slant rhyme hear and near swamp and damp fen and feeds warm and true?
Of the pairs you offer: 'swamp' and 'damp' are the slant rime. 'hear' and 'near' is a true rime; fen / feeds, warm / true do not rime at all. In a true rime, the vowel sound and the consonants which follow it are a precise match: beat / sweet, hope / soap, grew / true. In a slant rime, the vowel sounds are a near match (any trailing consonants will normally be identical): beat / mate, hope / shape, grew / sow. You need to be careful with slant rime (most teachers aren't): sometimes a true rime in one accent will be a slant rime in a different one. Mayor / chair is a true rime in the English home counties, but a slant rime most other places that English is spoken.
