Welcome to our weather quiz, which is all about the white flakes. With 15 questions about snow crystals and winter activities, we challenge you to test your knowledge.
Snow, this white splendor, enchants landscapes and minds alike. But what exactly is snow? In this weather quiz you will find the answers and perhaps learn something new. Snow is formed when water vapor condenses into ice crystals and falls to the ground. Most snow crystals have the characteristic hexagonal shape that gives them unique patterns. Unfortunately, the white splendor has failed to appear in many regions this year, but we still want to know what you know about it.
Many quizzes
In our weather quiz, you need to know something about the shape of snow, but also about the different types of snow. For example, from powder snow, which is ideal for skiing, to firn. This is the name given to snow that has turned into solid ice through repeated thawing and freezing. But be careful! Not all snow is suitable for forming snowballs. Powder snow prefers to remain loose and light.
Winter not only brings snow, but also the joy of various activities in the snow. Whether skiing, building a snowman or tobogganing – the sound-absorbing properties of loose snow create a peaceful winter landscape. A particularly interesting phenomenon is drifting snow, which is carried by the wind and forms impressive snow drifts.
The science that deals with ice and snow is known as glaciology. This discipline deals with the forms, occurrence and properties of ice and snow. So if you do particularly well in this weather quiz and have lots of correct answers, you can call yourself a glaciologist. Or you recognize you wouldlike to know more about storms, rain, snow and many more weather phenomenons. Maybe the weather quiz also gives you a little overview about the topic.
Are you ready to test your knowledge of snow? Our weather quiz not only offers a challenge, but also an opportunity to learn more about the world of snow.
