Clouds that form in layers?
Layered clouds, cirrocumulus clouds, are high level clouds. They form above 20,000 feet where it is cold. They are composed of ice crystals.
Which term is used to describe clouds of middle height?
Stratus. Think of strata layers in the ground.
What clouds form between 2000 m and 8000 m in altitude?
Clouds that form between 2000 m and 8000 m in altitude are typically altocumulus and altostratus clouds. Altocumulus clouds are fluffy and white with patches or layers, while altostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray and cover the sky with a veil-like layer.
How does altostratus clouds form?
Altostratus clouds are formed when a large stable air mass is lifts causing water vapor to condense into a cloud.
Is it true that altostratus clouds are lower than regular stratus clouds?
No, altostratus clouds are typically found at higher altitudes than regular stratus clouds. Altostratus clouds generally form between 2,000 to 7,000 meters above the ground, while regular stratus clouds form at lower altitudes, typically below 2,000 meters.
What are three types of medium clouds?
Three types of medium clouds are altocumulus, altostratus, and nimbostratus. Altocumulus clouds are white or gray patches or layers with a lumpy appearance. Altostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray layers covering the sky. Nimbostratus clouds are thick and dark clouds that often bring steady precipitation.
What types of clouds are thunderstorms most likely to form?
altostratus ,altocumulus and cumulonimbus are thunderstorm clouds
Altostratus and altocumulus are what clouds?
Altostratus and altocumulus are mid-level clouds that typically form between 6,500 and 20,000 feet above the ground. Altostratus clouds are usually gray or blue-gray in appearance and can often cover the sky, while altocumulus clouds are puffy and white with some shading.
Is a altostratus cloud the lowest cloud?
No, altostratus clouds are middle-level clouds that typically form between 6,500 and 20,000 feet in the atmosphere. Low-level clouds include stratus, stratocumulus, and cumulus clouds that form below 6,500 feet.
What are two types of clouds that are between 20000 and 6500 feet in the air?
Altocumulus and altostratus clouds can be found between 20,000 and 6,500 feet in the air. Altocumulus clouds are white or gray with patchy cloud layers, while altostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray and cover the sky with a veil-like appearance.
What type of clouds are altostratus and altocumulus?
Altostratus and altocumulus are mid-level clouds that form between 6,500 and 20,000 feet in the atmosphere. Altostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray in color and cover the sky like a blanket, often blocking out the sun. Altocumulus clouds are white or gray with rounded patches or layers and can sometimes appear as rippled waves in the sky.
What is the difference between low level clouds middle level clouds and high level clouds?
All clouds are diffiened into four layers as follows- low level clouds-stratus, stratocumulus,nimbostratus and fog(really low stratus) medium level clouds-altocumulus,altostratus high level clouds-cirrocumulus,cirrostratus and cirrus. many level clouds- these are usually convective clouds like cumulonimbuses. stratocumulus for A+
