Why does snow appear when the weather is cold?
Microscopic water droplets - which would normally fall as rain - freeze due to the low temperature. They stick together to form larger flakes - which become too heavy to stay in the clouds - so they fall as snow.
How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in a climate?
Most directly the sun's energy causes evaporation, moving water vapour into the atmosphere. When it rises high enough it cools, forming clouds, which are made up of tiny droplets of liquid water. As the sun causes more evaporation the droplets get bigger till they are too heavy to float, and they fall as rain.
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 condensation in a water cycle?
When the sun evaporates water from the earth's surface the water vapour rises into the air. As it rises the air becomes colder.When the water vapour becomes cold enough it condenses (like water on the outside of a cold drink) to form liquid water again. These tiny water droplets form clouds. When enough of the droplets merge together they get too heavy to float and they fall as rain (precipitation).
What must occur before precipitation can fall to earth's surface?
When there's too much water in a cloud it will fall. Or when it is cool enough to condense.
How does rain get released to the surface of the earth?
When the droplets are too heavy for updrafts to support, they fall to the ground as rain.
Is hail already frozen when it starts to fall?
Yes it is. Hail is simply water droplets that have been frozen while 'suspended' in a thunder cloud. The droplets get 'tossed around' by air currents in the cloud - until they're too heavy, and fall to earth.
Water droplets that become too heavy to remain suspended in the air fall out of the clouds as?
Precipitation
How does the water come down?
When the water vapour in clouds merge and become droplets, they will fall as rain. Two basic reasons are the droplets have become too heavy, and gravity.
When water droplets in a cloud combine become too heavy and fall to the ground as rain snow sleet or hail are expriencing?
precipitation
How does freezing rain begin its descent?
As soon as the droplets become too heavy for wind currents to keep them in the cloud, they fall under gravity.
When water vapour condenseit form tiny drops of water that forms clouds when do this droplets come down as rain?
Individual droplets are so small, that they can stay suspended in the air. If the droplets combine into larger drops that are too heavy to stay suspended, they fall as raindrops.
Water Droplets That Are Too Heavy To Float Make?
Rain
When warm water vapor is cooled by colder air is it turn into tiny water droplets?
yes, it condenses. thats why it rains. clouds become too heavy and water droplets (rain) fall. if the air is cold as it falls it can become snow or hail.
What must happen before water vapor falls from clouds as rain?
It must first evaporate and then it must condense into a cloud. As soon as the water droplets get too heavy, then they fall as rain.
What are water droplets that are too heavy to float make?
It forms rain.
Why does snow appear when the weather is cold?
Microscopic water droplets - which would normally fall as rain - freeze due to the low temperature. They stick together to form larger flakes - which become too heavy to stay in the clouds - so they fall as snow.
