Question

Which are steps in the formation of hail pellets? Check all that apply.

They are tossed up and down in clouds.
They gain layers of ice and grow larger.
They grow to less than 5 mm in diameter.
They grow too heavy and fall to the ground.
They form ice crystals directly from water vapor.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hail is a kind of precipitation that differs from the ice pellets. It consists of irregular lumps of ice forming a stone like structure. The size of the hailstone varies from 5-15 mm in diameter. They may grow in size in the atmosphere and become heavy enough to fall. They are formed directly by the water vapor. The hail pellets moves up and down in the clouds due to strong upward motion exerted by the upper atmosphere. These pellets overcome this motion by gaining weight and falling on the ground. On the basis of the above description, the following statements are correct.

They are tossed up and down in clouds.

They gain layers of ice and grow larger.

They grow too heavy and fall to the ground.

They form ice crystals directly from water vapor.

Answer 2

They are tossed up and down in clouds.

They gain layers of ice and grow larger.

They grow too heavy and fall to the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

• They may develop in volume in the environment and convert large adequate to drop. They are created immediately by the water steam.
• The hail pellets travel upward and downward in the clouds due to the powerful upward movement used by the higher environment.
• These pellets succeed this movement by obtaining weight and dropping on the ground
