How can the presence of ice crystals and water droplets inside a cloud affect precipitation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They can help particle growth and the precipitation process

Correct answer: A. A cloud may contain both ice crystals and supercooled water droplets; this is called a mixed-phase cloud. At the same time, water vapour can change into ice more readily than it remains available to the liquid droplets. Vapour therefore deposits on ice crystals, while some droplets evaporate and supply more vapour. The ice crystals grow, and collisions or joining can make them large enough to fall. During descent they may remain as snow, melt into rain, or contribute to other precipitation forms depending on temperature. B is wrong because ice and droplets do not prevent precipitation; they can help particles grow. C is impossible because a cloud is made of suspended water or ice particles, not rock. D is wrong because the process redistributes moisture rather than removing all of it. Memory cue: mixed cloud particles can become precipitation-sized particles.
