Sometimes, when ice crystals form in clouds and begin to fall, strong winds carry the ice crystals into the clouds. When the crystals begin falling again, they grow larger as more water droplets freeze onto them. Clumps of ice, called hailstones, start to form. Eventually, the hailstone grow too heavy for the wind to carry and they fall to Earth.




Describe a time during the formation of hailstones when the water relases energy.

Answer:

Hail actually falls as a solid. Hailstones are formed by layers of water attaching and freezing in a large cloud. A frozen droplet begins to fall from a cloud during a storm, but is pushed back up into the cloud by a strong updraft of wind. When the hailstone is lifted, it hits liquid water droplets

Explanation:

Answer:

The water releases energy when it freezes.

Freezing is an exothermic reaction
