What is gravity?

• A push or pull exerted on an object

• The force that pulls objects towards Earth

• The push on an object upward

• The push or pull that can change direction on an object

When is there more lift (updraft) in a cloud?

• When there is more heat transferred to the air, making it more dense and rise faster

• When there is more heat transferred to the air, making it less dense and rise faster

• When there is less heat transferred to the air, making it more dense and rise faster

• When there is less heat transferred to the air, making it less dense and rise faster

Why are layers formed in hailstones?

• The water in the clouds freeze at different rates

• The water freezes and melts in the cloud

• The updraft is carrying different substances that create the layer in the hail

• The hailstone gets layers as it collides with other hailstones.
