What type of precipitation occurs as rain droplets move up and down through freezing and non freezing air?
sleet
What must be present for any precipitation to occur?
cloud droplets or ice crystals must grow heavy enough to fall through the air.HOPE this has helped you :)Or by temperature dropping *i dont think thts 1*
Explain why condesation may occur when moist air rises?
The formation of precipitation may occur at temperatures above or below freezing. Precipitation that is formed in temperatures entirely above freezing is called warm precipitation; cold precipitation involves ice at some stage of the process.
What kind of precipitation would occur if the temperature was above freezing?
ummm snow stupid
How does precipation occur snd what determines the type of precipitation that falls on earth?
Precipitation occurs when a front collides with moist air particles. It raises those particles into the air and condenses them into clouds if those clouds become big enough and the water droplets become heavy enough they come down as rain if the air is warm enough for rain. If the air drops to 34 degrees and below then it could become snow or freezing rain. The air temperature is what determines what type of precipitation occurs.

sleet
How does precipitation eventually return to the oceans?
Precipitation. Continued cooling of the water vapor in the clouds causes water droplets to grow. Eventually, droplets join other droplets and form drops too heavy to stay in the clouds. The heavy droplets begin to fall as rain. The movement of raindrops from the atmosphere to the Earth is precipitation. Snow may form instead of raindrops if the water vapor condenses below the freezing point.Some areas lose more water to evaporation than they gain as precipitation. Other locations receive more precipitation than they lose to evaporation. Whatever the form of precipitation, water lost by evaporation over the entire surface of the Earth equals the amount of water falling as precipitation.
Which form of precipitation is likely to occur when a layer of air with temperature above freezing overlies a subfreezing layer near the ground?
freezing rain. hail is caused by gusts of air repeatedly blowing precipitation back into the atmosphere, where it acquires a new layer of H2O. so in this case it is not likely to occur.

What is a precipatation that freezing on its way o earth?
Freezing precipitation is called sleet or freezing rain.
What type of precipitation occurs when it is above freezing?
Sleet
How does precipitation develop?
Precipitation develops and occurs by the process of collision-coalescence. Collision-coalescence occurs when water droplets collide together to form larger droplets. These droplets get pulled to earth by gravity. Updrafts can send them back up but they will still grow larger and eventually fall to earth. The pure water remains as droplet and can super cool (-20C) below freezing. Ice crystals (super cooled water droplets) act as nucleation sites. The density of water vapor in the air prior to saturation is light and gets heavier as water droplets form. Ice or snow can occur, unless frozen water is warmed as it falls through the atmosphere resulting in rain. Dust and gas particles in the atmopshere can also act as nucleation sites for condensation to form upon. This will help create precipitation that eventually falls to earth due to weight and gravity processes.

How does a cloud turn into a glacier?
precipitation and freezing. it makes sense.
What tool would a meteorologist use to learn precipitation will be rain or snow?
A thermometer, because if you are looking for precipitation, if it is above freezing, it will be rain, and if it is below freezing, it will be snow. Hope I answered your question :)
What precipitation happens at 25 degrees F?
Freezing rain or sleet
