Explain how hail forms? You need to understand that the middle part of a cumulonimbus cloud, where the air temperature is between -40° C and 0° C, there exists a combination of ice and supercooled liquid water droplets, which are cloud droplets that remain liquid even though the temperature is below the normal freezing point of liquid water. This should be part of your explanation. How large can hail get? Why are strong updrafts necessary to produce extremely large hail?
TRUE or FALSE?The velocity profile of the wind along the vertical inside the Atmospheric Boundary Layer is constant.
Assuming there is no feedback and greenhouse effect, estimate Earth's
average temperature when there is a 5W/m² increase in solar radiation. (Use the
solar radiation in two-box model)
