Understanding Cloud Formation

What is the primary gas that makes up clouds?

• Water vapor

• Nitrogen

• Oxygen

• Carbon dioxide

Which process leads to the formation of clouds?

• Freezing of atmospheric gases

• Sublimation of ice particles

• Condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere.

• Evaporation of ocean water

What type of clouds are typically associated with thunderstorms?

• Cirrus clouds

• Nimbostratus clouds

• Stratus clouds

• Cumulonimbus clouds

What is the term for the water droplets that form clouds?

• Rain droplets

• Fog particles

• Cloud droplets

• Ice crystals

How do temperature and humidity affect cloud formation?

• Clouds form only in cold temperatures regardless of humidity.

• Clouds can only form in dry air conditions.

• Humidity has no impact on cloud formation processes.

• Temperature and humidity influence cloud formation by affecting air's moisture capacity and promoting condensation when air cools.
