D. Define the following:
1 Sleet
3. Frontal Rainfall
5 Frost
2. Rain-shadow area
4. Precipitation
6. Mist
Answers
1.Sleet : rain containing some ice, as when snow melts as it falls.
2. Rain-shadow area : A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather. ... On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked. In a rain shadow, it's warm and dry.
3.Frontal Rainfall : Frontal rainfall occurs when a warm front meets a cold front. The heavier cold air sinks to the ground and the warm air rises above it. When the warm air rises, it cools. The cooler air condenses and form clouds. The clouds bring heavy rain.
4. Precipitation : 1.
CHEMISTRY
the action or process of precipitating a substance from a solution.
2.
rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to or condenses on the ground.
"these convective processes produce cloud and precipitation"
5. Frost : a deposit of small white ice crystals formed on the ground or other surfaces when the temperature falls below freezing.
6. Mist : a cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere at or near the earth's surface that limits visibility
