Arrange these stages of the cold rain process in order.
1. riming and aggregation into larger particles
2. primary nucleation of the first ice crystals
3. melting into raindrops below the freezing level
4. growth of crystals by vapour deposition

  • A.3 - 1 - 4 - 2
  • B.4 - 2 - 1 - 3
  • C.2 - 1 - 4 - 3
  • D.2 - 4 - 1 - 3

Answer: D

The sequence describes how most mid-latitude rainfall actually forms. Rain at the surface in temperate regions has usually passed through the ice phase on its way down. Warm rain contributes only a small share outside the tropics.
