How can precipitation increase when ice crystals and supercooled droplets coexist in mixed clouds?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth of ice crystals can form particles heavy enough to fall

Correct answer: B. In a mixed cloud, ice crystals can coexist with supercooled liquid droplets, which are liquid even though their temperature is below the usual freezing point. Water vapour tends to deposit more readily on the ice crystals when conditions favour ice growth. At the same time, supercooled droplets may collide with the ice and freeze onto it. The ice particles therefore grow larger and heavier, eventually becoming snowflakes, graupel, or other precipitation particles that can fall. Option A is unrelated because clouds do not turn into soil. Option C is wrong because moisture is transferred into growing ice particles rather than simply disappearing. Option D is wrong because water freezes as ice, not rock. B correctly describes how mixed-phase cloud processes promote precipitation growth. Memory cue: “in mixed clouds, ice can collect water and become fallable.”
