PPT-Types of Clouds

How is rain made The sun has been warming the ground all morning The ground warms the air and the temperature rises The warm air rises As the warm air rises it cools and the water vapour tiny droplets of water in the air condenses to form clouds.

If . the droplets become large enough. , they . may be visible as a cloud or fog. Meera. Mehtaji. CLOUDS. Four Types of Clouds. Cirrus Clouds . Cumulonimbus Clouds. Cumulus clouds. Stratus Clouds. Cirrus Clouds . Cirrus clouds are the most common of the . High Cloud. (5000-13000m) group.. Two key impacts. Cloud feedback. Response of clouds to increased CO. 2. Aerosol indirect effects (AIEs). Response of clouds to changes in aerosol particles. Cloud feedbacks. Uncertainty in cloud feedbacks is main source of uncertainty in climate sensitivity. 6. th. Grade Science. Clouds. Water from the earth’s surface moves into the air by . EVAPORATION. and becomes . WATER VAPOR.. Clouds are formed when rising air is cooled and the water vapor condenses on particles in the air and forms tiny water droplets.. Florent. . Brient. , . Tapio. Schneider, . Zhihong.

Cumulus Clouds. Cumulonimbus Clouds. Stratus Clouds. Stratus. Stratus clouds are low sheets of gray clouds that cover the sky. . Nimbostratus. Stratus can change into nimbostratus clouds. These clouds bring periods of rain. Any cloud with “nimb” in its name is a rain cloud. . 23-2. Clouds. Small water droplets or ice crystals that fall through air. Fog is a cloud that forms near the surface. Formation. Solid surface are needed for water vapor to condense on. Troposphere – lower layer of atmosphere. Michael . Armbrust. Armando Fox. Rean.

Cirrus clouds can best be described as “ice-crystal” clouds that look like wispy curls of hair. These clouds are often the first signs of approaching weather changes. . Cirrus. These clouds are often referred to as “mackerel sky”. The ripples in these clouds look like the scales on a fish and are a sign of unsettled weather to come. . . Can you identify . cloud types in landscape paintings? . Directions. : Take a look at each piece of art and try to identify the clouds. The following slide has the answer. Good luck!. Title. : Route de Louveciennes. Clouds. Form when air rises, cools to its dew point, and becomes saturated. Shape and height of clouds vary with temperature, pressure, and water vapor in atmosphere. Clouds. Shape. Stratus-smooth, even sheets or layers at low altitudes.
