because ice is cold and hail is ice
Mainly gravity. Hail can be very large, and do damage and injure people since it is heavy and falls from a great height. It is also very difficult to drive when the road is covered by balls of ice.
Tornadoes are often, but not always preceded by heavy rain and hail. This hail can sometimes be very large.
Hail is cold because it is ice. More specifically, hail originates very high in the atmosphere, where it is always very cold. When a hailstone is large enough it falls back to the ground fast enough that it does not have time to warm back up.
yes.. indeed it can. hail is produced by very strong thunderstorms..
Hail forms when updrafts in a thunderstorm carry raindrops into very cold areas of the atmosphere where they freeze into ice pellets. These pellets can continue to grow in size as they are circulated within the storm's updrafts, ultimately falling to the ground as hailstones when they become too heavy for the updrafts to support. The intense heat at the surface does not prevent hail formation as the storm cloud and upper atmosphere where hail forms are much colder.

Yes. It is actually not very common to die from hail.
Yes. Tornadoes a very often accompanied by large hail.
Cumulonimbus clouds can produce a variety of precipitation, including rain, snow, hail, or sleet. The specific type of precipitation that is produced depends on the temperature and atmospheric conditions within the cloud.
Very carefully.
The clouds usually are fairly restricted in height, but can sometimes extend upwards to much higher altitudes when they become known as cumulonimbus clouds. These are very large and can extend to 12000 metres or higher. At base level, the cloud is made up of water droplets but the top of the cloud is made up of ice crystals. Cumulonimbus produce severe weather such as heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms and tornadoes.
