What is the exam-worthy difference between frost and snowfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Frost forms or deposits on surfaces, whereas snowfall falls from clouds as precipitation.

Answer: B. Frost is a deposit of ice on a surface. It develops when the surface and nearby air become sufficiently cold, commonly at or below the freezing point, allowing water vapour to change directly into ice or allowing frozen moisture to remain on the surface. Snowfall is different: it is precipitation that falls from clouds in the form of snow crystals or snowflakes. A is wrong because one is mainly a surface deposit and the other is falling precipitation. C is wrong because frost can form on exposed land, plants, vehicles, and other cold surfaces, not only at sea. D is wrong because snow crystals originate from atmospheric moisture. Memory cue: frost stays on a surface; snow falls from a cloud.
