Match the forms of precipitation to their definition

------Water falls from the clouds but freezes before reaching the ground

------product of high updraft from clouds high in the sky where droplets are taken upward and collide with other droplets.

------Water droplets fall to the ground.

------falls as water. freezes on contact

____ice crystals fall

1. Rain 2. Sleet 3. Snow 4. Hail 5. Freezing Rain

(1) Sleet- Sleet refers to the type of rain that forms very small ice crystals as it falls from the cold air. This cold air provides a much cooler temperature favoring in the formation of these crystals.

(2) Hail- When the ice pellets are allowed to scatter within the dense cloud, then the ice pellets combine with the water droplets present at a higher altitude. It then grows larger in size, and after this continuous motion of ice pellets, they fall back on the surface.

(3) Rain- It is the most commonly occurring precipitation and these raindrops are formed when the ice crystals in the clouds are melt.

(4) Freezing Rain- These are raindrops that usually gets freeze as they fall over the surface in a comparatively colder weather. After precipitation, the surface gets covered by these ice coatings.

(5) Snow- The ice crystals when it grows and gets accumulated in the clouds, they form snowflakes that are of variable shapes and sizes.

Hence the correct answers are being matched.
