What kind of precipitation would occur if the temperature was above freezing?
If the temperature is above freezing, precipitation would likely fall as rain. Snow and sleet typically occur when temperatures are at or below freezing.
Falling rain passes through a layer of freezing air and forms what?
Falling rain that passes through a layer of freezing air forms sleet or freezing rain, depending on the temperature profile. Sleet occurs when rain partially freezes into ice pellets before reaching the ground, while freezing rain falls as liquid and then freezes on contact with surfaces, creating a layer of ice.
What causes rain to become sleet?
Ice pellets (sleet) frequently occurs mixed in with freezing rain, and is made of frozen raindrops. Sleet forms in advance of a warm front in the wintertime in a narrow band, usually sandwiched between an area of snow and an area of rain or freezing rain associated with an extratropical cyclone. Rain being produced in a warm layer aloft falls into a cold air layer below. If the cold layer is deep enough, then the raindrops freeze. If the cold layer is very dry, sleet will more readily form due to evaporative cooling.
Would you rather go barefoot on freezing ice or on hot coals?
I would rather go barefoot on freezing ice. Ice may be uncomfortable and can cause frostbite, but it is less likely to cause serious and permanent damage compared to hot coals, which can cause severe burns.
Would frost wedging be more likely in Butte Montana or Thule Greenland?
Frost wedging would be more likely in Thule, Greenland due to its colder climate and prolonged periods of freezing temperatures. The extreme cold conditions in Greenland would promote the repeated freezing and thawing of water in cracks and crevices, leading to the gradual breakdown of rock through frost wedging. Butte, Montana also experiences freezing temperatures, but the intensity and duration of cold in Thule would make frost wedging more prominent there.
What kind of precipitation would occur if the temperature was above freezing?
If the temperature is above freezing, precipitation would likely fall as rain. Snow and sleet typically occur when temperatures are at or below freezing.
What type of precipitation would most likely to fall at 0C?
At 0°C, the most common type of precipitation is snow. If the temperature is right at the freezing point, some rain or sleet may also be present.

What are the four kinds of precipitation?
There is rain, sleet, snow, and hail (most common is rain). :-D Why stop at 4? You want all 13? Here are the classics: Rain, Sleet, Snow, Hail, and Mixed. If you need the ones only a Meteorologis would love, then you have Snow Pellets, Snow Grains, Drizzle, Freezing Drizzle, Freezing Rain, Freezing Fog, Ice Crystals and good ol' Graupel!

What rhymes with feet to do with winter?
That would be sleet.
Which type of precipitation would likely be falling from cumulus clouds with a ground air temperature of 14C snow sleet rain or hail?
Rain would likely be falling from cumulus clouds with a ground air temperature of 14°C. Snow or sleet would occur at colder temperatures, while hail is associated with more intense thunderstorms.
What are the differences between sleet and rain?
Freezing rain is possible on Sunday as a dynamic winter storm enters the state's atmosphere. Snow and rain are widely understood forms of precipitation, but often times freezing rain and sleet have people confused as to what they are and what makes them different. Between the two, freezing rain is considered as the more dangerous because it often immediately leads to very slippery roadways. It can also begin to build up as ice on power lines and tree limbs. During periods of heavy icing, freezing rain is often blamed for power outages. Sleet can also yield slick roadways, but often accumulates much in the way snow does. Interestingly, the term sleet is used almost exclusively in the United States. More often in the rest of the world sleet is referred to as what it actually is: ice pellets. Freezing rain falls in the atmosphere as a liquid. It freezes only when it comes in contact with surfaces that are at or below freezing. When freezing rain occurs, an ice glaze can develop easily on any surface it touches. In many cases, that would be roads and sidewalks and is one reason why bridges and overpasses can become so dangerous when freezing rain threatens. Sleet falls in the atmosphere as a solid pellet of ice. That is why it is commonly referred to as ice pellets. The precipitation is in a totally frozen solid state as it travels through the air, and when it hits the ground. Though it may melt after hitting the Earth's surface and re-freeze, that would be after the fact, and what separates it from freezing rain.
What food preparation methods would be the LEAST likely to destroy vitamin E?
Freezing
If a warm front occurs in the winter what type of snow storm would it likely bring?
A warm front occurring in winter typically brings a snowstorm with light snowfall and prolonged precipitation. This can lead to heavy, wet snow that is often accompanied by freezing rain or sleet, making conditions slippery and hazardous.
Which season would likely have the most evaporation?
summer
What is the past tense word for sleet?
Sleet is primarily a noun. However, the past tense of the verb form would be 'sleeted'.
