What happens when a meteor hits the ozone layer?
When a meteor hits the ozone layer, it can cause localized heating and disruption of the ozone molecules. This can lead to a temporary thinning of the ozone layer in that specific area, which may allow more harmful UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface. Over time, the ozone layer can repair itself and return to its normal state.
Describe what happens in an ice storm?
During an ice storm, there is a layer of warm air between two layers of cool air. The cool air in the upper layer allows clouds to condense and form snow. When the snow hits the layer of warm air below, it melts and forms rain. When the rain hits the layer of cold air hugging the ground, it freezes again, creating a layer of ice over everything.
Where do sleet and snow form?
Sleet does not form in clouds - it begins as snow. The snow falls through a layer of air a little above freezing and melts into rain, then falls into a colder layer again and refreezes into ice pellets.
When steam hits cold metal and forms water droplits what is it called?
When steam hits cold metal and forms water droplets, it is called condensation.
What is a meteor that hits earth surface?
Meteorite
What Type of precipitation that hits as a liquid and then freezes instantly when it hits the ground?
Sleet is the type of precipitation that falls as liquid but then freezes instantly upon impact with the ground. This occurs when rain from a warmer layer of air falls through a colder layer near the ground, causing it to freeze before reaching the surface.
Which term describes rain that freezes when it hits the earths surface?
The term for rain that freezes when it hits the earth's surface is freezing rain.
When rain freezes before it hits the earth and precipitate as?
When rain freezes before it hits the earth, it forms sleet or freezing rain. Sleet consists of small ice pellets, while freezing rain forms as liquid rain that freezes upon contact with surfaces. Both can create hazardous conditions on roads and walkways.
When rain hits the surface and turns to ice is what?
When rain hits the surface and turns to ice, it forms sleet, which is a type of frozen precipitation. Sleet can create hazardous driving conditions and icy surfaces.
What is the definition of freezing rain?
Freezing rain is caused when you have a precipitating cloud deck with a mass of warm air below it and then a thin mass of freezing air near the ground.When the precipitation falls from the cloud, it will generally be snow. As it encounters the warm air, it melts into the usual water droplets of rain. But right before it reaches the ground, it enters the layer of below-freezing air and quickly turns into super-cooled water droplets. On landing on any freezing object, it instantly turns into a layer of ice.That can turn streets into skating rinks in no time!It falls as a liquid, but when it hits the ground it freezes.

What are the three types of precipitation and how does each one occur?
The three types of precipitation are rain, snow, and hail. Rain forms when water droplets in clouds combine and fall to the ground. Snow forms when water vapor in clouds freezes into ice crystals. Hail forms when water droplets are carried up and down in a storm cloud, accumulating layers of ice until they become heavy enough to fall to the ground.

What is it called when light bounces back from an object?
That is called reflection. When light hits a surface and bounces back, it forms an image of that object that we can see.
What causing an ice?
Ice storms are basically a big freezing rain storm. As freezing rain begins to fall it forms coats of ice on the objects that it falls upon. The ice starts to accumulate and soon the weight of the ice upon tree branches, power lines, etc., becomes too much and they start to break. But how come the precipitation isn't just snow, or just rain? Freezing rain only occurs in certain weather conditions. For freezing rain to occur there must be close to 100% humidity, with upward moving air to keep it that way. Also there must be three layers of air: one cold layer, near the surface of the Earth. One warm layer just above that. And one more cold layer, at the top, where the precipitation starts. It starts out as snow in the first cold layer, as it falls it hits the warm layer and melts into rain. It continues to fall and when it reaches the 2nd cold layer it starts to cool off again. It probably won't have time to freeze again before it hits the ground or an object, so when it hits an something that is 32°F or less, it freezes instantly. That is how freezing rain is formed.
Why doesn't the temperature of water continue to decrease once it hits freezing point?
It freezes
What happens to your spit in the Antarctic winter?
It freezes into a ball of ice before it hits the ground.
