Introduction. Mining is the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoinâs public ledger of past transactions. This ledger of past transactions is called the block chain as it is a chain of blocks. The block chain serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place.itcoin uses the hashcash proof-of-work function. The primary purpose of mining is to allow Bitcoin nodes to reach a secure, tamper-resistant consensus. Mining is also the mechanism used to introduce Bitcoins into the system: Miners are paid any transaction fees as well as a âsubsidyâ of newly created coins.
Hail stones are much bigger than ice pellets that one sees in a sleet. Hail has been known to cause damage to crops and occasionally to drivers as they can break windshields of cars. You can understand how big and heavy a hail must be if it can break a windshield of a car.
Hail requires strong updrafts to keep the hydrometeors suspended to accumulate ice. The only clouds that can normally support these updrafts are cumulus or cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds. <br /><br /> Hail requires TWO elements. One is an updraft and the other is that the water inside the cloud reaches the freezing level.
