Hail would cause the most damage because it has a very powerful heavy mass. They can break tree branches and cause problems with power lines if they hit them.

What is the precipitation that does not go into the ground?
cheese
What is the sudden shaking of the earth that often causes a lot of damage?
An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by shifts in the tectonic plates as they move against each other.
Why doesn't Pluto have precipitation?
For a planet to have precipitation, it must have an atmosphere. Pluto is too small and gravitationally weak to retain an atmosphere, and even if it did, it would be frozen solid on the ground.
How does water pollution affect the water cycle?
Air pollution causes some of moisture in the clouds to evaporate before it ever hits the ground. It has also been theorized that air pollution reduces ground level winds, which can decrease evaporation from lakes and rivers, which is needed for precipitation.
Can oil extractions cause earthquakes?
Not often does it happen on a large scale, but some oil drilling causes miniature ground shakes. This would not be noticeable by anyone, and it would also be so small that it would cause no damage. If you are asking if it causes earthquakes like the ones you hear on the news, then the answer is no.

What happens when precipitation infiltrates the ground?
When precipitation infiltrates the ground there is a possibility of flooding.
How much precipitation is produced to be considered a tornado?
Tornadoes do not produce precipitation and they typically form in the rain free portion of their parent storms. A tornado is defined a a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and the cloud base of a thunderstorm. So as long as it meets this definition and has winds strong enough to cause damage it is a tornado.
Precipitation that sinks into the ground is called?
Precipitation that sinks into the ground is called Groundwater.
What is precipitation which does not reach the ground called?
Precipitation that does not reach the ground is called 'virga'. If it does reach the ground, it's called 'praecipitatio'.
Can a ground leakage damage electrical appliances?
A ground leakage can damage electrical appliances. When there is a current leakage, it causes the appliance to draw more current through thecircuit, hence produces excess heat. This can damage the appliances.
Precipitation that soaks into the ground trickles downward due to?
precipitation is the water that soaks downward due to the ground trickles
What are the two major causes of structual damage during an earthquake?
ground shaking and foundation failure
What are the two major causes of structural damage during an earthquake?
Ground shaking and foundation faliure
What rock type is typically needed to sculpt the landscape using groundwater?
Groundwater (ie water in the ground rather than precipitation as rain or snow) causes landscape features in carbonate rocks (Limestone) which it dissolves. The topography produced in Limestone areas is called 'Karst Topography'.
