I WONDER - How Is Hail Formed?

The video explains the dynamics of air inside clouds, where warmer air at the bottom and cooler air at the top create a cycle of movement. This movement causes hailstones to form as water freezes around them. Once hailstones grow large enough, gravity pulls them down to the earth.

Why is the air at the bottom of a cloud warmer than at the top?

• Because clouds are denser at the top

• Due to the movement of warm air upwards

• Due to the earth's gravitational pull

• Because the sun heats the bottom more

What causes hail to move within a cloud?

• The push and pull of warm and cold air

• The difference in air pressure

• The rotation of the earth

• The presence of lightning

How does hail grow larger inside a cloud?

• By accumulating layers of ice

• By melting and refreezing

• By colliding with other hailstones

• By absorbing sunlight

What eventually causes hailstones to fall to the ground?

• The melting of ice

• The weakening of wind currents

• The force of gravity

• The increase in temperature

What role does gravity play in the lifecycle of a hailstone?

• It helps hailstones form

• It pulls hailstones to the earth

• It causes hailstones to melt

• It prevents hailstones from growing
