What factor in clouds control snowflake formation?

There isn't a factor in clouds that control snowflake formation.Wet snow: water droplets and ice crystals form. Ice crystals grow. Ice crystals combine and form snowflakes. Snowflakes begin to melt. Dry snow:water droplets and ice crystals form. Ice crystals grow. Ice crystals combine snowflakes. Snowflakes fall without melting.


Are ice particles and ice crystals the same thing?

no Ice particles fall from the sky but Ice crystals form on the ground.


Clouds form as moist air rises and?

cools, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. These water droplets or ice crystals then come together to form clouds.


When do crystals form?

Snow crystals form when water vapor condenses directly into ice. This happens in the clouds.


How do snow crystal form?

it forms from snow and ice come together and colliade


What type of precipitation forms from ice crystals?

Ice crystals don't precipitate. Precipitation of crystals happens when you create a supersaturated solution, and you do THAT by heating a solvent, adding enough solute to make a saturated solution at that temperature, filtering out the undissolved solute, and letting the solution cool. Ice crystals form.


When do snow crystals form?

What ice crystals stick together?

Ice crystals that stick together typically do so through a process called aggregation, which occurs when supercooled water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and freezes onto existing ice crystals. This process is common in the formation of snowflakes, where individual ice crystals combine to create larger structures. Additionally, factors such as temperature, humidity, and air turbulence can influence how ice crystals stick together, leading to various snowflake shapes and sizes.


Where is the snow coming from?

Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes directly into ice crystals, bypassing the liquid stage. These ice crystals then join together to form snowflakes. Precipitation occurs when these snowflakes fall to the ground.


Were does the snow come from?

The air, when water vapor particles are cooled to solids.


What are clouds made of f?

Clouds are made of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that have condensed from water vapor in the air. The water droplets or ice crystals gather together to form visible clouds that we see in the sky.


What are some common items that form crystals?

Salt and ice are two common mineral crystals.
