Rain

Most commonly observed, drops larger than drizzle (0.02 inch / 0.5 mm or more) are considered rain. However, smaller drops are also considered raindrops if, in contrast to drizzle, they are widely separated.

Drizzle

Fairly uniform precipitation composed exclusively of fine drops very close together. Drizzle appears to float while following air currents, but unlike fog droplets, it falls to the ground. Quite often fog and drizzle occur together.

Ice Pellets (Sleet)

Precipitation of transparent or translucent pellets of ice, which are round or irregular hard grains of ice consisting of frozen raindrops, or largely melted then refrozen snowflakes.

Snow

Precipitation of snow crystals that are mostly branched and in the form of six-pointed stars.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Option (3), (4) and (5)

Explanation:

Forest is one of the main geographical feature on the earth's surface. It covers a significant portion of areas on the earth's surface. Human beings and other organisms are largely dependent on these forests. It provides habitat to a large number of animals, provides timber and fuels for different uses. When any population migrates into an urban areas, it results in the decreasing amount of forest covered area, which is due to the rapid deforestation process.

Thus, the correct answers are mentioned above.

The radius of the cone id 1.75 inches an the height id 3.5 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum ball is 0.5 inches what is

Olegator [25]

Answer: $11.15 in^{3}$

Explanation:

We need to know the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, but firstly we need to calculate the volume of the cone $V_{C}$ and the volume of the buble gum ball (a sphere) $V_{B}$ :

<u>Volume of the cone:</u>

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi R^{2}h}{3}$ (1)

Where:

$R=1.75 in$ is the radius of the cone

$h=3.5 in$ is the height of the cone

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi (1.75 in)^{2}3.5 in}{3}$ (2)

$V_{C}=11.22 in^{3}$ (3) This is the volume of the cone

<u>Volume of the gum ball:</u>

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi r^{3}}{3}$ (4)

Where:

$r=\frac{0.5 in}{2}=0.25 in$ is the radius of the sphere (half the diameter)

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi (0.25 in)^{3}}{3}$ (5)

$V_{B}=0.065 in^{3}$ (6) This is the volume of the gum ball

Know we are able to find the closest approximation of the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, by calculating the difference or substracting (6) from (3):

$V_{C}-V_{B}=11.22 in^{3}-0.065 in^{3}$ (7)
