How does water from the ocean become different forms of precipitation?

• Water evaporates; precipitation falls; the sun warms the ocean water; clouds form

• Clouds are formed through condensation, the sun warms the ocean water; precipitation falls; water evaportates

• Precipitation falls to the ground; clouds form;the sun evaporates water from the ocean

• The sun warms the ocean; water evaporates and then condenses into clouds; precipitation falls to the ground.

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 to make sleet
• Snowflakes fall and are melted a bit by warm air near the ground
• Sleet is not real
