Precipitation includes rain and snow. Too much rain causes flooding, and too much snow causes road blockages and paralysis. There are also other dangerous types of precipitation such as freezing rain, which is often known to bring down power lines by encasing them in heavy ice, and which creates very dangerous driving conditions by making the roads slippery.

What is the most dangerous form of precipitation?

Freezing rain is considered one of the most dangerous forms of precipitation because it coats surfaces with a thin layer of ice, creating hazardous conditions for driving and walking. This type of precipitation can lead to slippery roads, power outages, and significant damage to trees and structures.


What is a non precipitation advisory?

A non-precipitation advisory can be for any number of conditions that are dangerous, but do not involve precipitation. These include warnings or watches for heat, high wind (which is probably your situation), dangerous wind chill, dense fog, smoke, blowing dust, volcanic ash, etc.


What is a drop hard icy rain is?

Hard icy rain is a type of freezing precipitation that falls as liquid raindrops and freezes upon impact with surfaces such as roads, creating dangerous icy conditions. This type of precipitation can lead to slippery roads, sidewalks, and hazardous driving conditions.


What is the Difference between co precipitation and post precipitation?

• Precipitation is settling down of insoluble particles from a solution. Co-precipitation is a process in which normally soluble compounds are carried out of solution by a precipitate. • In precipitation, normally insoluble compounds are precipitated. But in co-precipitation normally soluble compounds are precipitated. • Co-precipitation incorporates contaminants into the precipitate, whereas precipitation can result in both pure and contaminated precipitates.

Is hail poison?

No. Hail consists of chunks of ice. While there may be pollutants in it, as is the case for all precipitation, it is not inherently poisonous. That said, large hail is still dangerous.

What are the differences between post precipitation and co - precipitation?

Co precipitation = Simultaneous precipitation of more than one compound from a solution Post precipitation = It is a process during the precipitate in the mother liquor; a second precipitation is slowly precipitate with the precipitating agent.

Why does acid precipitation weather rock faster than normal precipitation does?

Acid precipitation weather rocks faster than normal precipitation because acid precipitation has a higher concentration of acid than normal precipitation.


When occurs precipitation?
