← ScienceWhich consequence results when high-altitude clouds become supercooled?
A)Initiation of ice crystal formation✓
B)Increased absorption UV radiation
C)Decreased cloud albedo effect
D)Enhanced evaporation of cloud droplets
💡 Explanation
Supercooled cloud droplets promote rapid ice crystal formation because of the Bergeron process; the saturation vapor pressure around ice is slightly lower than around liquid water. Therefore, ice crystals grow, rather than continued liquid water suspension, causing precipitation.
