Question

Suppose a storm produced precipitation in the form of ice particles. What type of precipitation would this be? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hail.

Precipitation is also known as rainfall and it is important as a way of balancing and regulating the earths atmospheric conditions. Precipitation could involve rainfall, snow or hail.

Hail is usually accompanied by a storm which produces precipitation in the form of ice particles. This happens when the dew point is below freezing which results in the formation of ice crystals.
