What type of precipitation occurs as rain droplets move up and down repeatedly through freezing and nonfreezing air?
hail
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.
When are clouds made in the water cycle?
Condensation is when afetr the water evaporates, it collects together to form a cloud. When the water droplets get too heavy, precipitation occurs.
What is the temperature that freezing occurs?
This is called the melting (or freezing) point
What is This occurs when cooler air cannot retain all its vapor?
precipitation
What type of precipitation occurs as rain droplets move up and down repeatedly through freezing and nonfreezing air?
hail
When the what and what are right the small droplets of water in clouds form larger droplets andprecipation occurs?
When the rain and snow are right the small droplets of water in clouds forms larger droplets and precipitation occurs.
What type of precipitation occurs when it is above freezing?
Sleet
What kind of precipitation occurs when water droplets freeze as they fall to earth?
snow
What occurs when water droplets in the atmosphere become heavier than the air surrounding them can hold?
precipitation
What occurs when water droplets in the air become heavier than the air can hold?
Precipitation in the form of rain.
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 precipitation occur and what determines the type of precipitation that falls to earth?
Precipitation occurs when cloud droplets combine and grow large enough to fall to the earth the rate of evaporation as a drop falls to the earth also can affect its size.from: sadia aisa

Why are ice storms difficult to forecast?
Freezing rain occurs when snow falls through an above freezing layer of air to melt and then a subfreezing layer to become supercooled. However, a similar temperature profile could also produce sleet or other forms of precipitation. It only takes a small change to this profile to change what precipitation you get. It is difficult to make predictions with such a small margin for error.
When occurs precipitation?
Precipitation is rain.
