Question
Write scientific reason.
In the cold regions, snow falls in winter.
Solution
- Snow is formed high in the clouds from water vapour.
- In cold regions when the temperature is extremely low, water vapour freezes around smoke or dust particles forming ice crystals.
- When these ice particles combine with each other they turn heavy and start falling to the ground.
This gives rise to snowfall in cold regions in winter.
