What else can I help you with?
What type of precipitation occurs as rain droplets move up and down through freezing and non freezing air?
Sleet occurs when rain droplets fall through a layer of freezing air close to the ground, causing them to freeze into ice pellets before reaching the surface.
Formation of precipitation in cold clouds is called?
Formation of precipitation in cold clouds is called nucleation and involves the process of tiny water droplets freezing into ice crystals. These ice crystals grow in size as they collide with other ice crystals or water droplets, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground as precipitation.
What must be present for any precipitation to occur?
cloud droplets or ice crystals must grow heavy enough to fall through the air.HOPE this has helped you :)Or by temperature dropping *i dont think thts 1*
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.
Explain why condesation may occur when moist air rises?
The formation of precipitation may occur at temperatures above or below freezing. Precipitation that is formed in temperatures entirely above freezing is called warm precipitation; cold precipitation involves ice at some stage of the process.
What type of precipitation occurs as rain droplets move up and down through freezing and non freezing air?
Sleet occurs when rain droplets fall through a layer of freezing air close to the ground, causing them to freeze into ice pellets before reaching the surface.
Which form of precipitation is likely to occur when a layer of air with temperature above freezing overlies a subfreezing layer near the ground?
freezing rain. hail is caused by gusts of air repeatedly blowing precipitation back into the atmosphere, where it acquires a new layer of H2O. so in this case it is not likely to occur.

What is the best explanation for the formation of precipitation?
Precipitation forms when water droplets or ice crystals in clouds grow large enough to overcome air resistance and fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This growth can occur through processes like collision and coalescence, where droplets combine, or through ice crystal formation in clouds with temperatures below freezing. Different atmospheric conditions lead to various types of precipitation.
Compare coalescence and supercooling?
Coalescence is the process by which small water droplets in a cloud combine to form larger droplets, which eventually fall as precipitation. Supercooling refers to the phenomenon where a liquid is cooled below its freezing point without actually turning into a solid, usually due to a lack of nucleation sites. Both coalescence and supercooling are important processes in the formation of precipitation in clouds.
What is a precipatation that freezing on its way o earth?
Freezing precipitation is called sleet or freezing rain.

How does precipitation eventually return to the oceans?
Precipitation. Continued cooling of the water vapor in the clouds causes water droplets to grow. Eventually, droplets join other droplets and form drops too heavy to stay in the clouds. The heavy droplets begin to fall as rain. The movement of raindrops from the atmosphere to the Earth is precipitation. Snow may form instead of raindrops if the water vapor condenses below the freezing point.Some areas lose more water to evaporation than they gain as precipitation. Other locations receive more precipitation than they lose to evaporation. Whatever the form of precipitation, water lost by evaporation over the entire surface of the Earth equals the amount of water falling as precipitation.
