Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Little temperature contrast between fronts will not enhance the formation of hail because it is conditions of temperature contrast that help to create strong updrafts and downdrafts, which are necessary for hail formation. The other three choices, great vertical development of the cloud, great amounts of cloud water droplets and water vapor, and strong updrafts and downdrafts within the cloud, are all factors that contribute to the formation of large hailstones.
