If lower air is both warm and dry, how can precipitation leaving a cloud change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It may melt or evaporate, so less may reach the surface

Correct answer: A, precipitation may melt or evaporate, so less may reach the surface. Precipitation continues to interact with the air below the cloud. Warm air can melt snow or ice particles into rain. Dry air is unsaturated, so raindrops can lose water by evaporation as they fall; in some cases, ice particles can also shrink by sublimation. Consequently, the type of precipitation may change and the amount reaching the ground may decrease. B is wrong because warm, dry air does not always create hail; hail generally requires strong storm updrafts and ice growth. C is impossible. D is wrong because the lower air column strongly affects both form and quantity. Memory cue: warm changes form; dry removes water.
