Snow and hail form when water condenses and freezes in the atmosphere, falling as precipitation. Snow begins as water droplets that freeze and fall, while hail starts as rain that strong updrafts carry into extremely cold areas high in storms. During snow and hail storms, it is safest to find shelter inside and stay away from windows, wearing layers if going outside. The largest recorded hailstone measured over 20 centimeters wide and weighed nearly 1 kilogram.

To stay safe during hail or snow storms, find shelter indoors and stay away from windows. If outside, wear layers and stay a safe distance from buildings. Snow forms when water condenses in the atmosphere and falls as snowflakes. Hail starts as rain that strong updrafts carry high into cold areas of thunderstorms where it freezes before falling to the ground as ice. Hail and snow are forms of precipitation that occur when water vapor freezes and falls to the ground as ice or snow.Fossils

Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals that have been turned to stone over long periods of time through mineralization. They are usually not the actual bones or shells but impressions or molds that have absorbed minerals from surrounding rock. While it is rare for organisms to become fossilized, fossils can include bones, shells, footprints, and other remains or traces and range greatly in age, with some of the oldest being over 4.5 billion years old.Thunder

Thunder is the sound caused when lightning, a huge discharge of electricity during a thunderstorm, shoots through the air. When lightning strikes, a large amount of electricity travels through the air, causing the air to heat up rapidly and expand, resulting in thunder. The safest place during a thunderstorm is indoors or inside a car with the windows up.Hurricanes - Ryan, Benjamin, Adele

A hurricane forms over warm ocean waters near the equator when a tropical storm moves over an area of rising warm air. Hurricanes bring heavy rain, strong winds, and sometimes snow. To stay safe during a hurricane, people should stay away from windows and doors, have safety equipment accessible, make sure flashlights are within reach, and avoid rising flood waters.Thunder

Thunder is the sound caused when lightning, a huge discharge of electricity between clouds or the cloud and the ground, heats the air and causes it to expand rapidly. When moist air rises quickly in cumulonimbus clouds, the air and water rub against each other building up electricity until lightning flashes. During thunderstorms, it is important to go indoors when thunder roars and avoid trees or poles, and it is safest to be inside a hard top car.Lightning
Lightningrennae27
Ìý
Lightning is caused by hot air rising and cold air rushing in to fill the space, bumping ice crystals in clouds and creating an electrical charge. It is dangerous to be outside or near metal during a lightning storm, as lightning can strike trees, fences, pipes, and more. Some key safety tips are to get indoors if you hear thunder, avoid swimming or being near bodies of water, and don't touch metal or use wired phones if a storm is occurring.Winter ecology notes frost, snow, and ice

The cumulonimbus cloud can produce destructive weather like thunderstorms, heavy rain, hailstorms, and even tornadoes. The world record hailstone fell in Kansas, USA weighing 1.7 lbs and 7.5 inches in diameter. Hailstones form inside the cumulonimbus cloud as water droplets are cycled between different temperature layers, freezing onto the hailstone and adding layers of ice. Powerful updrafts and downdrafts inside the cloud influence the size of the hailstone by cycling it between layers for longer periods of time. A large hailstorm in Sydney, Australia in 1999 caused extensive property damage but no deaths.Wondrous Weather

Snow forms when tiny drops of water vapor in the air freeze onto specks of dust. Winter is usually the coldest season because of snow, which can give frostbite if the temperatures drop too low. Floods occur when too much rain falls at once, which has the potential to drown plants and damage buildings and infrastructure by moving trees, houses, and cars. Severe weather events like hurricanes and blizzards happen when warm and cold air masses interact over oceans or inland areas.1bMcFadden

1. When air is compressed, its temperature increases due to the faster movement of molecules. When it expands, the temperature decreases. Temperature also decreases with increasing altitude, dropping 10 degrees Celsius every 1,000 meters.
2. Mountains prevent air flow and cause the air on the leeward side to be cooler and drier than the windward side.
3. When warm air and cool air collide at a front, the cool air rises over the warm air, acting as a barrier that can prevent storm systems.Exogenous disasters hail storms

Hailstorms occur when strong thunderstorm updrafts carry water droplets above the freezing level, where they freeze into hailstones. Hailstones grow larger as additional water freezes onto them until they become too heavy to be supported by the updraft and fall to the ground. Hail has the potential to severely damage crops, plants, buildings, vehicles, and can even cause injury or death. Mitigation efforts include educating people on sheltering safely during hailstorms, issuing warnings, and designing buildings to withstand hail impacts in prone regions.pd 4 group 6

Severe weather such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards can endanger people and cause property damage. Thunderstorms produce heavy rain, lightning, thunder, and sometimes hail. Tornadoes are violent whirling winds that can destroy buildings. Hurricanes are powerful storms that form over warm oceans and can demolish structures. Blizzards occur in winter when winds blow heavy snow, reducing visibility. It is important to take safety precautions like sheltering indoors during storms and listening for watches and warnings.Winter ecology notes climate

This document describes two natural phenomena involving snow - ice balls and snow rollers. Ice balls form near large bodies of water when snow falls into the water, freezes into balls, and washes ashore. Snow rollers form on land when gusts of wind pick up and roll layers of loose snow into cylindrical shapes that can be several centimeters long. The specific conditions of temperature, wind speed, snow depth and terrain slope required for snow rollers to form are outlined.Natural snowballs&snowrolls

Severe weather forms from certain conditions including warm ocean water, low pressure, high humidity, and the Coriolis effect. Hurricanes begin over warm waters and cause storm surges, which are dangerous rising sea levels pushed by wind. Thunderstorms form from cumulus clouds and can produce tornadoes, hail, and lightning through a process where positive and negative charges build up and discharge. Tornadoes develop when warm, humid air meets cold, dry air and occur most often in Tornado Alley in the central US. Flash floods and river floods can result from heavy rain that water cannot drain quickly enough from or overflows river banks.Snowballs

This document discusses two rare meteorological phenomena - "lolly" and "snowrollers". Lolly occurs when large amounts of snow fall near lakes or oceans, and the movement of waves transforms the snow into hundreds or thousands of ice balls on beaches. Snowrollers form when wind blows layers of snow on top of each other, causing rolls of snow to form on surfaces covered in a thin layer of loose snow near the melting point. Under the right temperature, humidity, wind speed and slope conditions, the rolls can move and collect more snow, growing up to 70cm large.16 3 Storms Andie

Cloud formation occurs through adiabatic cooling or lifting of air parcels to their dew point temperature. Clouds are classified based on their height and form. High clouds like cirrus are made of ice crystals while low clouds like stratus are uniform layers near the surface. Fog forms through different cooling processes like radiation, advection, or evaporation. Precipitation forms through the Bergeron process using ice crystals or collision-coalescence of water droplets. Rain, snow, sleet, hail, and freezing rain are different types of precipitation. Weather modification techniques like cloud seeding are used to artificially influence precipitation and other weather phenomena.Blizzard1

Blizzards typically occur in winter in places like the northeastern United States and Appalachian mountains, when temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Blizzards develop like thunderstorms but bring snow instead of rain, with little or no lightning. People should prepare for blizzards by having a disaster plan, stocking up on food and water for at least a week, and keeping first aid kits in their home and car in case blizzards cause power outages or strand vehicles.11952 natural disasters1
