Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bergeron-Findeisen process occurs in mixed-phase clouds, where part of the cloud is below freezing and part of the cloud is above freezing. In this process, the ice crystals in the upper portion of the cloud grow at the expense of the liquid droplets in the lower portion, leading to precipitation in the form of either rain or snow depending on the temperature and other conditions. Thus, option E is the best choice.
