In which form does water fall from clouds as icy flakes?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Snowfall

Correct answer: A, snowfall. In cold clouds, water vapour may change directly into ice crystals, or supercooled droplets may freeze around tiny particles. These crystals can join together to form snowflakes. When the flakes are heavy enough, they fall through the atmosphere as snowfall. A is therefore the only option that describes water falling as icy flakes. B, drizzle, consists of very small liquid water droplets and is not made of flakes. C, dew, forms as liquid water on cool surfaces near the ground; it does not fall from clouds. D, fog, is a cloud close to the ground made of tiny suspended droplets or ice particles, not a falling form of precipitation. Memory cue: flakes indicate snow; tiny liquid drops indicate drizzle.
