Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glaze forms when rain falls on subfreezing surfaces, causing it to freeze upon impact, creating a layer of ice. Sleet forms when rain falls through a layer of freezing air, causing the raindrops to freeze before hitting the ground. Hail forms within thunderstorms, when strong updrafts carry raindrops high into the atmosphere where they freeze and are then carried by the updrafts until they fall to the ground. Snow forms in cold clouds when water vapor freezes directly into ice crystals, which then join together to form snowflakes.
