Question

Which type of precipitation can be described as frozen pellets of rain and can occur during a spring or summer thunderstorm?

A) snow
B) hail
C) sleet
D) freezing rain

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Sleet forms in winter storms, while hail is a warm-season type of precipitation. As noted above, sleet forms when snow melts in a warm layer and then refreezes into ice pellets as it falls though a cold layer. Hail, however, forms in spring, summer or fall thunderstorms.

Hope this helps.
