Question
Which of the following is true of "wet growth" hail?
It tends to occur in the anvil of the thunderstorm
It has partially melted due to the heat received through collisions with supercooled droplets
It has a "foggy" appearance due the accumulation of air bubbles
It tends to occur only in the southern hemisphere
A.It tends to occur in the anvil of the thunderstorm
B.It has partially melted due to the heat received through collisions with supercooled droplets
C.It has a "foggy" appearance due the accumulation of air bubbles
D.It tends to occur only in the southern hemisphere
Explanation / Answer
Wet growth hail is formed when many supercooled drops freeze onto the hailstone such that the resulting latent heat release raises the surface temperature so that the water briefly remains unfrozen
Hence, The statement " It has partially melted due to the heat received through the collisions with supercooled droplets" is true. As collision processes also induce some amount of heat.
