   What is drizzle?

   Hint

3. 3.

   What type of droplets does drizzle consist of?

   • A: Larger than 0.5 mm

   • C: Equal to 1 mm

   Hint

   Remember the size comparison to regular rain.

4. 4.

   Drizzle generally comes from which cloud type?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

5. 5.

   Hint

   Think about how slow and steady affects accumulation differently.

6. 6.

   Analyze the potential effect of drizzle on urban infrastructure such as roads and drainage systems.
