If precipitation is falling as ice flakes what is it called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Snowfall

Precipitation is water that falls from the atmosphere to the ground in some form. When it falls as separate flakes made of ice crystals, it is called snowfall. Snowflakes form when water vapour freezes or joins with ice crystals in cold clouds. Drizzle is made of very small liquid water drops, not ice flakes. Dew forms on cool surfaces near the ground, and mist consists of tiny suspended water droplets in the air, so neither is falling ice precipitation.

Option A is correct because the clue “ice flakes” directly identifies snow or snowfall. The word “falling” is also important: snowfall is precipitation reaching the surface, whereas dew develops by condensation on objects and mist remains suspended near the ground. Hail is also frozen precipitation, but it falls as hard balls or lumps of ice rather than soft flakes; it is not one of the options. Therefore, the described form is snowfall.
