The document discusses the main types of precipitation: rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain falls as liquid when temperatures are above 0°C and is the most common type. Snow forms from ice crystals when temperatures are cold enough to freeze water vapor directly into ice. Sleet consists of frozen rain droplets that form when rain passes through a layer of freezing air. Hail develops when rain freezes into balls or chunks of ice that accumulate additional layers of ice and vapor as they are pushed between cold and warm air currents.

precipitation

2. Kinds of precipitation
Rain Snow Sleet Hail

4. 1) Rain
- Made up of liquid
- Falls if temperature is
above 0⁰c.
- Most common kind of
precipitation.

6. 2) Snow
- Made up of ice
crystals.
- Caused when air
temperature is so cold
that the vapor changes
directly to ice.

9. 3) Sleet
- Made up of frozen rain.
- Cause when rain falls
through a layer of
freezing cold air.
- Rain turns to ice pellets

12. 4) Hail
- Round pieces of ice.
1)Rain freezes.
2) Falls to a warmer part of air
where vapor condenses on it,
then it goes up to a cold part
of air where the vapor freezes
forming another layer of ice.
