¿Cómo se forman los copos de nieve?

The video explores the intricate beauty and complexity of snowflakes, explaining their formation from water vapor in clouds at temperatures below 0°C. It discusses how factors like temperature and humidity influence their hexagonal shapes and molecular structure. The video also highlights the potential dangers of snowflakes, such as avalanches, caused by unstable snow layers.

What are the primary factors that determine the type of snowflake that forms?

• Temperature, humidity, and altitude

• Soil type and vegetation

• Sunlight and air pressure

• Wind speed and direction

How does temperature affect the complexity of snowflakes?

• Snowflakes are more complex at moderate temperatures

• Temperature has no effect on snowflake complexity

• Lower temperatures create more delicate and intricate snowflakes

• Higher temperatures create more complex snowflakes

What is the most characteristic type of snowflake formed at lower temperatures?

• Circular flakes

• Stellar dendrites

• Simple hexagonal planes

• Triangular crystals

What causes the symmetrical structure of snowflakes?

• The presence of impurities in the air

• The influence of wind patterns

• The rotation of the Earth

• The arrangement of water molecules in a three-dimensional network

What phenomenon can occur due to the unstable layers of snow formed by different types of snowflakes?

• A snowstorm

• An avalanche

• A blizzard

• A hailstorm
