D. Formation of clouds

Answer 1

Growth of ice crystals in clouds from supercooled water

Answer 2

The Bergeron process details and explains the growth of ice crystals in clouds that form from water that is supercooled. This process occurs in mixed phase clouds. Two men, Alfred Wegener and Walter Findeisen, collaborated with Tor Bergeron to discover and explain this process. All three men were meteorologists.
