What kind of precipitation is formed when water falls from the clouds and lands on the ground as liquid water?

• Hail

• Rain

• Sleet

• Snow

Water droplets in a cloud that fall to the ground represents which part of the water cycle:

• precipitation

• condensation

• transpiration

How is sleet formed?

• Snowflakes fall, go through an area of cold air and turns into sleet before hitting the ground

• Rain falls, freezes in an area of cold air above the ground and falls as ice pellets before hitting the ground

• Hail pellets that melt a little before hitting the ground

• water droplets that freeze when reaching the surface of the ground

• Sleet

• Rain

• Snow

• Glaze

Supercooled rain droplets that freeze immediately upon contacting a solid surface:
