Question

When the concentric layers are formed in a hail?
A. While the hail falls towards the ground.
B. While the hail grows in size.
C. While the hail took upward due to air blow.
D. All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Hail begins as water droplets like other precipitation in clouds. The temperature falls as the droplets rise. The speed depends on the dimensions of the hailstones.

Complete Answer: A solid form of precipitation is known as hail. A hailstorm consists of irregular lumps or pieces of ice is known as a hailstorm. During a thunderstorm, hail is possible. The speed of hailstones depends on the size, the speed increases as they grow in size.
Hail is considered serious as it can cause serious damage to humans, buildings, crops, before a hailstorm, serious weather warnings are issued when the size of the stones seems damaging.
Hail begins as water droplets like other precipitation in clouds. The temperature falls as the droplets rise. It is made up of translucent and thick layers. Thus, the concentric layers are formed in a hail while the hail grows in size.
Within the continental interiors at mid-latitudes, hail appears most generally. In tropics where thunderstorms are more frequent than the regions of mid-latitudes, hail occurs very less.
In the months of March to October, hail is more common in the areas of North America. In North America, the most hail-prone cities are Wyoming and Cheyenne. In these cities, hailstorms occur around nine to ten times per season.

Thus the correct option is B.

Note: Hailstones and ice pellets are not the same. Ice pellets consist of small, translucent lumps of ice. Hailstones are bigger than ice pellets. In thunderstorms, hailstones are formed whereas ice pellets are formed in winters. Therefore, the two should not be interchanged.
