Snow

Snow is water droplets that fall from clouds. Then, those falling water becomes solid. You need to know that rain consists of water vapor particles, then cooled in the air. They fell to the earth as pieces of soft, white, and shaped like crystals. When the air temperature has been hot, the snow began to melt and disappear. It turns directly into water vapor and the process is called the sublime.

Before we learn how the snow happens, we must knowing about the hydrological process. When reach at a certain temperature, water will be evaporated to form clouds. At the beginning, the mass of cloud formation is much smaller than the mass of air so that those can float in the air. However, after the steam increases and merges inside the clouds, its mass also increases. Then, it makes the clouds break up and water particles will fall to the earth.

Usually the air temperature below the cloud is below the 0 degrees Celsius. But low temperature is not only the factor that can cause the water particles to form snow. The water particles that fall is the pure one. Actually when the water particles contact with the air, those main parts are contaminated by the other particles. There are certain particles to accelerate the freezing phase of clotting (these particles are called nucleator), so that pure water quickly becomes crystals of ice.

If the air temperature does not melt the ice crystals, those will fall to the ground. Then, here’s the snow! If the snow is not formed, the ice melts and gets to the ground in the form of rain water.

In many cases around the world, the rain process always begins with a snow when it falls from the clouds, but then melts when it crosses the heat temperature. Sometimes, if the temperature is very low, the ice crystals can form tiny balls of ice. Bandung is one of the places that frequently gets the hail. So, this is why the snow is very hard to fall naturally in tropical regions because the places including Indonesia have high air temperatures and it makes the ice balls melt.

Benefit from this text

We can learn how the snow happen

Snow make everybody happy

If the snow falling down heavily, it can make destruction.

Hail make destruction, it can make holes on the roof and another destruction.

Process

  When reach at a certain temperature, water will be evaporated to form clouds. The clouds break up and water particles will fall to the earth. Usually the air temperature below the cloud is below the 0 degrees Celsius. But low temperature is not only the factor that can cause the water particles to form snow. There are certain particles to accelerate the freezing phase of clotting (these particles are called nucleator), so that pure water quickly becomes crystals of ice. If the air temperature does not melt the ice crystals, those will fall to the ground. Then, here’s the snow!
