Sleet
When snow melts and refreezes near the ground, it forms a layer of ice known as a "glaze" or "ice crust." This can create hazardous conditions for walking or driving.
When snow passes through warm air, melts, and then refreezes near the ground, it becomes sleet or freezing rain, depending on the temperature conditions. Sleet consists of frozen raindrops, while freezing rain is rain that becomes supercooled and freezes upon contact with surfaces, creating a layer of ice.
You get ice pellets, colloquially known as sleet in the U.S.
When snow passes through warm air and melts before refreezing near the ground, it becomes sleet. Sleet consists of small ice pellets formed when raindrops freeze before reaching the surface. This process can create a slippery layer on roads and sidewalks, making travel hazardous.
This is freezing rain. If the layer of cold air is deep enough, it freezes completely into sleet. But if it is only at the surface, it will fall as rain that freezes on cold surfaces - freezing rain.

when a plate under ground is forced under another plate rock near it melts and becomes magma, it oozes out of cracks in mountains where it becomes lava. the mountains are then called volcanoes.
Sleet is the type of precipitation that falls as ice pellets and can refreeze near the ground. This occurs when the raindrops freeze before reaching the surface or when the liquid rain freezes upon impact with cold surfaces.
air near the ground becomes warm and expands.warmer air is less dense than cold air and therefore the warm air near the ground rises. air near the ground becomes warm and expands.warmer air is less dense than cold air and therefore the warm air near the ground rises.
Convection currents in the air cause winds to form. As warm air rises, cooler air rushes in to fill its space near the ground. The rising warm air becomes cooler and begins to fall. The cooler air near the ground becomes warmer and begins to rise.
Fog is near or on the ground.
Cloud at ground level is called fog. It forms when the air near the ground becomes cooled to the point where it can no longer hold its moisture in a vapor state, causing it to condense into tiny water droplets.
