freezing rain. hail is caused by gusts of air repeatedly blowing precipitation back into the atmosphere, where it acquires a new layer of H2O. so in this case it is not likely to occur.

Is the asthenosphere relatively cool and rigid shell that overlies the lithosphere?
Yes, the cool and rigid shell is the asthenosphere.

What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the Earth's mantle?
The overburden load / self weight of the approximately 150 to 190 km of material that overlies the layer of the Earth's mantle where diamonds form creates the pressure required.
What is temperature inversion and its effects on Earth?
Thermal inversion occurs when a layer of warm air overlies cooler air in the trophosphere (lower atmosphere), thus inverting the usual condition in which air becomes cooler as altitude increases. Warm air is less dense than cool air. Density is the mass of anything divided by the volume it occupies. As the temperature of a given mass of air increases, its volume expands and the air gets less dense as a result - same mass, but larger volume, means less dense.Warm air can hold more water than cool air. Air near the land surface is heated by radiation and conduction, expands and begins to rise, being lighter than the surrounding air. This is convection. To replace the rising air, cooler air is drawn in from the surface of the sea. This is advection, called a sea breeze, and can offer a pleasant cooling influence on hot summer afternoons when further inland the heat may become oppressive. Soo.. if thermal inversion diid not occur . Then warm air which may be air heated by solar radiation did not expand and become less dense thanm cool air and rise. and this warm air that that did not rise was not able to hold much as much moistire as cool air. This would mean if all these characteristics were reversed for a single moment, the thermal inversion reversed would cause the warm air to descend. I think that is correct..
