Based on concepts discussed in chapter 7 regarding precipitation, describe how an aircraft flying through a layer of altocumulus clouds composed of supercooled droplets could produce a visible hole in the cloud layer.

Propellers or jet wings further cool the supercooled water droplets, causing precipitation.

Explanation:

Altocumulus clouds are composed of supercooled droplets, which means they are at sub-freezing temperatures. There are areas of low pressure around the propellers or over the jet wings, which can cool the air to well below the original temperature of the cloud layer, forming ice crystals, which then fall towards the ground i.e precipitation. A hole is then found in the area from where the precipitation occurred.

true. earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. this reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. these are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.
