If falling snowflakes partially melt what may reach the ground?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mixed rain and snow

Direct answer: A, a mixture of rain and snow may reach the ground. Snowflakes are solid ice particles formed in cold cloud regions. As they fall, they pass through air layers that may be warmer than 0°C. If the warm layer is not deep or warm enough to melt all the ice, the flakes melt only partly. The result is mixed precipitation called sleet or rain-and-snow mixture. A is correct because it describes partial melting. B is wrong because hail forms mainly when strong thunderstorm updrafts repeatedly carry ice particles upward, where layers of ice build around them; it is not simply partly melted snow. C is wrong because melting does not turn snow into dust. D is wrong because the process concerns water in solid and liquid forms, not dry air. Memory cue: the temperature profile below the cloud decides whether snow stays snow, becomes rain, or becomes a mixture.
