Where and when does snowfall primarily occur in the water cycle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In high latitudes or mountain regions when temperature is below freezing

Correct answer: B. Snowfall is a form of solid precipitation. In high-latitude regions and high mountains, the air and cloud temperatures can remain at or below the freezing point, allowing ice crystals to form or remain solid as they fall. When these crystals reach the ground without melting, the result is snowfall. A is not generally correct because summer over oceans is usually too warm for snow to reach the surface, even though ice may exist in some high clouds. C is not a general rule; deserts can be cold at night, but snowfall requires suitable atmospheric moisture and temperatures through the cloud and falling path. D is too broad because many plains are warm during monsoon rainfall. Memory cue: snow needs both moisture and a sufficiently cold atmospheric path, not merely a cold night.
