If droplets fall from a cloud but air is strongly turbulent what effect can occur on droplet size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Size can change by both collision and breakup

Correct answer: A. Strong turbulence makes cloud air move irregularly and rapidly in different directions. As droplets are carried within this disturbed air, they may collide with one another. Some collisions join droplets and produce larger drops, while strong impacts or wind shear can split drops into smaller ones. Therefore, turbulence does not produce only growth or only reduction; both collision and breakup may change the size distribution. Option B is wrong because droplets do not turn into soil in the atmosphere. Option C is wrong because a droplet remains water unless it evaporates or freezes; turbulence alone does not remove its water. Option D is wrong because turbulence does not always stop precipitation; it can sometimes help droplets grow. Memory cue: turbulent air means “mix, collide, and possibly break.”
