Which clouds are whispy, and look like feathers? They are often the whitest cloud in the sky.

Which clouds have flat bases, and are fluffy and white in appearance?

Which clouds have flat bases, and are fluffy and white in appearance?

These clouds are flat at the base, and also fluffy, but gray in color.

Which clouds form because of convection currents (warm air being lifter, and eventually cooling allowing the water vapor to condense to form a cloud)

These clouds form from dry air high in Earth’s atmosphere where it is colder. As you go further into the atmosphere there is also less water vapor, so the small amount of water vapor there is gets turned into ice crystals.

These clouds form in calm, stable conditions when gentle breezes raise cool, moist air over colder land or ocean surfaces.

Which clouds occur at low altitudes, and can cause fog?

Which clouds occur at medium altitudes?

What type of cloud indicates a thunderstorm?

These clouds often form before of a warm front, where the air masses meet at high levels, indicating fair weather or a change in weather. These clouds produce precipitation but it never reaches the ground.

These clouds have little to no rainfall, and are associated with fair weather. However, if it is thick enough, it can produce light precipitation.

What is a large body of air with the same temperature, pressure, and humidity

When a storm occurs ___________ air is overtaken by _____________ air.

This type of extreme weather occurs because of convection currents, and is strongest in warm tropical water.

This type of extreme weather occurs occurs when prolonged rain falls over several days, when intense rain falls over a short period of time

This type of extreme weather is caused by low precipitation over an extended period of time

This type of extreme weather is caused by warm, humid rotating columns of air near the ground with cooler dry air on top mixed with a change in wind speed or wind direction.

This type of extreme weather is caused when tectonic plates shift releasing energy that can create seismic waves.

Earthquakes are measured by a ___________________?

Select the type of precipitation being described. Develops when growing cloud droplets become too heavy to remain in the cloud and as a result, fall toward the surface

Select the type of precipitation being described. Formed when updrafts carry raindrops upwards into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, and these raindrops freeze.

Select the type of precipitation being described. Formed when updrafts carry raindrops upwards into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, and these raindrops freeze.

Select the type of precipitation being described. Begins as snow hits warm air to turn to rain then falls through cold air next causing the surface to freeze.

Select the type of precipitation being described. _______________ can melt and turn into rain if it travels through warmer temperatures.

Select the type of precipitation being described. Rain is falling rain that cools below 0°C, but does not turn to ice in the air
