• Downdraft

• Gravity

How is hail formed?

• Water freezes in the bottom of the cloud and falls to the ground when the hail is larger than the updraft

• Water droplets freeze as they fall to the ground

• Water freezes higher in the cloud and falls to the ground when the hail is larger than the updraft

• On cold days when there is little updraft, water will freeze and fall down to the ground as hail

Updraft is

• the upward movement of air that pushes objects down

• the upward movement of water that pushes objects down

• the upward movement of air that pushes objects up

• Convection

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.

What happens when water vapor is cooled?

• The molecules move faster and get less dense

• The molecules move slower and get less dense

• The molecules move slower and get more dense

• The molecules move faster and get more dense

When does frost form?

• When water vapor molecules are cooled, slow down, and condense into a liquid

• When liquid water is cooled to form water vapor

• When solid water melts into a liquid

• When water vapor molecules are supercooled into a solid
