Look a the following image by clicking on the image on quizizz. How would you describe the atmospheric profile for snow to fall within the atmosphere?
Snow forms when the environmental temperature and dew point temperature are below freezing in all of the layers of the troposphere. Snow falls when water vapor condenses as ice crystals, and they fall as flakes. 
Snow forms when the precipitation melts as it falls through a layer of warm air and then refreezes. The snow forms from the re-freezing of the precipitation before it hits the surface of the Earth.
Snow forms when the precipitation first starts off as liquid water. Snow forms right before it hits the ground,  since the ground level is cooler than the upper air. 
Snow does not form in the South you silly goose!

Look a the following image by clicking on the image on quizizz. How would you describe the atmospheric profile for freezing rain to fall within the atmosphere?
Freezing rain forms when the environmental temperature and dew point temperature are below freezing in all of the layers of the troposphere. Freezing rain falls when water vapor condenses as ice crystals, and they fall as supercooled water droplets right before they hit the surface of Earth. 
Freezing rain forms when the precipitation melts as it falls through a layer of warm air and then refreezes. Freezing rain forms from the re-freezing of the precipitation before it hits the surface of the Earth.
Freezing rain forms when the precipitation first starts off as liquid water. As the liquid rain falls through the atmosphere, it begins to "supercool", causing the rain to freeze upon contact on the ground that is below 32 degrees fahrenheit. 
Freezing rain only occurs in the southeast, because it snows in the Northern States.

Look a the following image by clicking on the image on quizizz. How would you describe the atmospheric profile for sleet to fall within the atmosphere?
Sleet forms when the environmental temperature and dew point temperature are below freezing in all of the layers of the troposphere. Sleet falls when water vapor condenses as ice crystals, and they fall as supercooled water droplets right before they hit the surface of Earth. 
Sleet forms when the precipitation melts as it falls through a layer of warm air and then refreezes in the lower troposphere. Sleet forms from the re-freezing of the precipitation before it hits the surface of the Earth.
Sleet forms when the precipitation first starts off as liquid water. As the liquid rain falls through the atmosphere, it begins to "supercool", causing the rain to freeze upon contact on the ground that is below 32 degrees fahrenheit. 
I thought hail and sleet were the same thing???

Looking a the following image by clicking on the image on quizizz, which of the following precipitation would occur in the troposphere?
freezing rain - the middle layer of the sounding is warm, but re-freezing of the water molecule occurs causing a mini ice ball to fall to the surface.
sleet - the middle layer of the sounding is warm, but re-freezing of the water molecule occurs causing a mini ice ball to fall to the surface.
snow - the middle layer of the sounding is warm, but re-freezing of the water molecule occurs causing a mini ice ball to fall to the surface.
