Question

When the concentric layer are formed in a hail?

• A. While the hail falls towards the ground.
• B. While the hail grow in size.
• C. While the hail taken upward due to air flow.
• D. All of above

Answer 1

The correct option is B While the hail grow in size.

As hailstones are heavy, they fall towards the ground, but because of the frequent upward flow of air, they are repeatedly taken upwards. Here a new layer of snow encapsulates the hail. This happens quite a few times. Hence concentric layers are formed while the hail grows in size.
