If ice crystals form aloft and pass through a warm lower air layer, what form of precipitation can reach the ground?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rain

Correct answer: C, rain. Precipitation type depends on the temperature conditions along the particle’s path from the cloud to the ground. Ice crystals formed in a cold upper layer may begin their descent as snow or ice. If they pass through a sufficiently warm lower layer, the ice melts and becomes liquid water. If the melted drops remain liquid until they reach the surface, the observed precipitation is rain. Option A is wrong because frost is ice deposited on a cold surface, not melted falling precipitation. Option B is wrong because fog is a cloud at or near the ground, not the usual result of falling ice crystals melting. Option D is wrong because mist is a near-surface suspension of tiny droplets. C is correct because the warm layer melts the crystals. Memory cue: “cold aloft plus warm air below can turn falling ice into rain.”
