Question
- which type of precipitation forms when rain travels through a freezing layer of air?
a. hall
b. snow
c. rain
d. sleet
Brief Explanations
When rain passes through a freezing layer of air, it freezes into small ice pellets. This is the formation process of sleet. Hail forms in strong thunderstorm updrafts. Snow forms when water vapor freezes directly into ice crystals. Rain is liquid water and doesn't form when passing through a freezing layer (it would turn into something else).
