Answer:

rain, snow, hail, freezing rain, sleet.

Explanation:

The different types of precipitation are ice crystals, rain (and freezing rain), snow, drizzle (and freezing drizzle), snow grains, ice pellets, snow pellets and hail.

When determining what the different types of precipitation are you have to look at how they form to determine if they are a different type.

Ice crystals form when the air is very cold, and are just crystals that form from water vapor directly freezing. This means that ice crystals do not form in cloud, and they are the only type of precipitation that doesn't.

Snow forms as ice crystals in cloud. These crystals then collide and adhere to each other forming snow. There is also another process called the Bergeron effect where water molecules adhere to the ice crystal, but is it a little too complicated to explain here. Anyway as the snow flake falls if it melts it turns into rain. If that rain drop falls back through a below freezing layer it first comes freezing rain (meaning it is still rain but once it hits something it will freeze) and if the temperature still drops then the rain refreezes and forms ice pellets.

Drizzle forms as liquid in low cloud (stratus), and is very small droplets. If they fall through a below freezing layer it will make freezing drizzle and if the layer is thicker it will become solid and turn into snow grains.

Based on the story of Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story", reread lines 120-131. With a small group, discuss why the wolves kill
miv72 [106K]

In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".

From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.

As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.

Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass:
ioda

Answer:

  • He describes his experiences on the platform simply, in order to avoid bias and sentimentality .

Explanation:

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave was distributed in 1845, under seven years after Douglass got away from subjection. The book was a moment achievement, selling 4,500 duplicates in the initial four months. For a mind-blowing duration, Douglass kept on reexamining and extend his personal history, distributing a second form in 1855 as My Bondage and My Freedom. The third form of Douglass' self-portrayal was distributed in 1881 as Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, and an extended variant of Life and Times was distributed in 1892. These different retellings of Douglass' story all start with his introduction to the world and youth, yet each new form underlines the common impact and close connection of Douglass' existence with key events in American history.
