Do both rain and snow begin as ice crystals?
Snow does, but rain does not have to. Rain can start through two processes, which are called "collision-coalescence" and "the Bergeron process". The former is the one by which rain never begins as ice, and this is most common in the tropics and in higher latitudes during the warm season.
When rain or snow falls down what is it called?
Rain, snow, and ice are three forms of precipitation, liquid or ice formed by the condensation of water vapor from the air.
What is the other name of rain or snow?
SNOW OR ICE
What do rain and snow have in common and ice?
Rain, snow, and ice are all forms of precipitation. They originate from water vapor in the atmosphere that condenses and forms into liquid droplets (rain), ice crystals (snow), or frozen water (ice) before falling to the ground.
What are two forms of precipitation?
* Rain * Snow * Sleet * Hail * Freezing Rain
Does it rain in the polar ice caps?
Rain on the polar ice caps? Probably not; snow would be more common.
What are the four major types of precipitation?
The four major types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water droplets falling to the ground, snow is ice crystals falling to the ground, sleet is rain that freezes as it falls, and hail is ice pellets formed in strong thunderstorms.
What are different types of pecipatation?
The main types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water droplets falling from clouds, snow is ice crystals falling from clouds, sleet is a mix of rain and snow or ice pellets, and hail is ice pellets formed in thunderstorm updrafts.
What are the forms of precipitation?
The forms of precipitation include rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain consists of liquid water droplets, snow forms when water vapor freezes into ice crystals, sleet is a mixture of rain and ice pellets, and hail is precipitation in the form of balls or lumps of ice.
What is to flake as rain is to drop?
To flake is to snow. Just as rain produces drops of water, snow produces flakes of ice.
Is precipition the same as rain?
Not necessarily. Rain is most certainly precipitation but precipitation can be rain, hail or snow for example. Other recognized forms are ice pellets, snow grains, snow pellets, and drizzle (which is differentiated from rain).
How are Snow and Ice made?
They all are made of water. Howewer snow is only frozen rain. Ice is simple frozen water.
