More surface water (larger body of water) =

• less water vapor and smaller storm

• less water vapor and larger storm

• more water vapor and smaller storm

• more water vapor and larger storm

troposphere

• water as a gas

• to move from one object to another or one place to another

• liquid water droplets suspended in air

• liquid water

• water vapor

Why might a cloud form without rain?

• Clouds are too high in the troposphere so the water vapor turns to crystals and can't melt.

• There may not be enough water vapor in the air.

• Wind pushes rain clouds high into the troposphere causing water to freeze.

• Some clouds form without water.
