If ice crystals and supercooled droplets coexist in a mixed-phase cloud which result is more likely for precipitation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ice crystals can grow into particles capable of falling

Correct answer: D. A mixed-phase cloud contains ice crystals together with supercooled liquid droplets, which remain liquid below the normal freezing point. In such an environment, water vapour can preferentially deposit onto ice crystals, while supercooled droplets may freeze when they contact ice. The ice particles can therefore grow larger and heavier. As their fall speed and weight increase, they may become precipitation particles that descend from the cloud as snow, ice pellets, or, after melting, rain, depending on the temperature layers below. A is wrong because mixed-phase processes can enhance particle growth rather than make precipitation impossible. B is unrelated, and C is wrong because water vapour is redistributed, not simply made to disappear. Memory cue: in a mixed cloud, ice often acts as a growth centre.
