Choice 4 BACK TO GAME Topic 5: $400 Question Question: a. Choice 1 b. Choice 2 c. Choice 3 d. Choice 4 ANSWER BACK TO GAME Explain how ice crystals grow in a cloud. Under what conditions will ice crystals fall as snow? Under what conditions will the ice crystals form hail? Upper layers of clouds contain ice crystals and super-cooled droplets. As super-cooled droplets evaporate, the water vapor is deposited on ice crystals. Heavy crystals fall, clumping together to form snow. If the snow doesn’t fall through a layer of warm air that melts it into rain, it may reach the ground as snow . Hail forms when a growing ice crystal is kept aloft by updrafts and continues to grow into a large ice clump. Bonus points: As the hail is carried up it then refreezes adding to its diameter. Bonus: Show a drawing depicting this concept. Essay #1 What types of clouds will form when a body of warm, moist air rises to a region of dry, stable air? Explain why and how they form. Cumulus clouds will form. Cumulus clouds grow vertically. Warm air rises and cools, causing condensation. Clouds grow upward until temperature and density of inside of cloud is same as outside air.
