Hail Storm Cross Section — free printable diagram

About this illustration

This educational illustration depicts a grey cloud producing both rain and hailstones, with some hailstones shown falling and others accumulated on a patch of green grass. A prominent circular inset on the right provides a detailed, labeled cross-section of a hailstone, showing its concentric layers: 'Outer layer (supercooled ice)', 'Middle layers (ice)', and 'Core (ice or water drop)'. The image effectively teaches students about the composition and layered structure of hailstones, linking to meteorology and weather phenomena. It is ideal for science worksheets or slides explaining the water cycle or types of precipitation, and can be used for labeling activities. The visual style is a clear, flat illustration combined with a detailed scientific diagram.
