What may happen if snowfall passes through a warm lower layer below the cloud?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It may melt and become rain

Correct answer: A, it may melt and become rain. Snow consists of ice crystals or snowflakes. As a snowflake falls, it passes through layers of air whose temperatures may differ. If the lower layer is warm enough, heat can melt the ice, changing the snowflake into a liquid water drop before it reaches the ground. The result may therefore be rain, although the exact precipitation depends on the temperature of the layers it crosses. Option A is correct because it describes this phase change from solid ice to liquid water. Option B is wrong because lava is molten rock produced by geological processes, not melted snow. Option C is wrong because melting does not turn snow into rock. Option D is wrong because gravity normally carries the snow downward; it does not always return upward. Memory cue: snow plus a sufficiently warm layer below equals possible rain.
