- B.
Greater than 12 inches of snowfall
- C.

- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Winds greater than 35 miles per hour with blowing snowExplanation
A blizzard is a severe winter storm characterized by strong winds and blowing snow. It is considered a blizzard when the winds exceed 35 miles per hour and there is blowing snow. This combination of high winds and blowing snow reduces visibility and creates hazardous conditions. While below zero temperature and greater than 12 inches of snowfall are associated with winter weather, they do not specifically warrant a blizzard. Therefore, the correct answer is "Winds greater than 35 miles per hour with blowing snow."Rate this question:

Why is salt placed on icy roads?
- A.
It melts the ice
- B.
It provides traction on the road
- C.
It lowers the freezing point
- D.
It adds flavor
Correct Answer
C. It lowers the freezing pointExplanation
Salt is placed on icy roads because it lowers the freezing point of water. When salt is spread on the road, it dissolves in the thin layer of water created by the ice, forming a saltwater solution. This solution has a lower freezing point than pure water, which prevents the ice from solidifying or melting at a slower rate. As a result, the salt helps to melt the ice and prevent further ice formation, making the road safer for vehicles to drive on.Rate this question:
