Weather and Climate

What role of tiny, suspended particles in the atmosphere in cloud formation?

• Suspended particles help air to rise.

• Suspended particles help cool the air to dew point

• Suspended particles provide a surface on which water droplets can form.

• Suspended particles allow rate of condensation to equal the rate of saturation.

What type of cloud is white, feathery and at high altitude.

• cirrus

• nimbus

• stratus

• cumulus

Which of these types of weather data is measured using a barometer?
