Which consequence results when high-altitude clouds become supercooled?

💡 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.
