What is the rain that freezes before it hits the ground?

• hail

What is the purpose of a heat lamp in a model of the water cycle?

• The lamp cools the lid so precipitation occurs.

• The lamp keeps the ice cubes from melting.

• The lamp is a source of heat and light to represent the sun.

• The lamp holds the lid down so it does not rise when the water evaporates.
