Layered clouds, cirrocumulus clouds, are high level clouds. They form above 20,000 feet where it is cold. They are composed of ice crystals.
Stratus, but are not original, but are also known as altostratus
Clouds that form in flat layers are known as Stratus clouds, from the Latin word strato, meaning" spread out."
stratus
Stratis
You probably mean Cirrus clouds, which are clouds made of ice crystals. There're several variations, including Cirrostratus and Cirrocumulus, but the clouds with the most prominent "wisps" or "curles" are Cirrus.
Clouds form when water starts to condense, so clouds eventually grow until they rain themselves to death-clouds mean rain.
by where they form in the atmosphere and their shape- ombudsmanHoward noted that there are three basic shapes to clouds:heaps of separated cloud masses with flat bottoms and cauliflower tops, which he named cumulus (Latin for heap);layers of cloud much wider than they are thick, like a blanket or a mattress, which he named stratus (Latin for layer);wispy curls, like a child's hair, which he called cirrus (Latin for curl).To clouds generating precipitation, he gave the name nimbus (Latin for rain).Clouds are found in three layers in the lower atmosphere. Thus, with four types of clouds and three layers, we come up with 12 major cloud types that have evolved from Howard's pioneering work.Heaps:Cumulus familyFair weather cumulusSwelling cumulusCumulus congestusLayers: Stratus familyStratusaltostratuscirrostratusLayered HeapsstratocumulusaltocumuluscirrocumulusPrecipitating cloudscumulonimbuscirrusnimbostratus

Clouds in flat layers are called stratus.
Clouds that form in flat layers are known as Stratus clouds, from the Latin word strato, meaning" spread out."
Stratus Clouds are clouds that cover large areas and form in layers.
the answer is stratus clouds!:)
Stratus is the cloud in flat layers
wait what question is this
Cirrus-Feathery
cumulus clouds form layers with water droplets
Moist, unstable layers
The clouds that are known to extend through all the layers are the cumulonimbus clouds. They can do this because they are stacked vertically.
Stratus clouds are flat layers of clouds that form close to the Earth's surface that often turn into........ or ............ That is what me and my friend are trying 2 find out seea! and if you find the answer post it on http://www.answers.com
These are all types of clouds. Stratus clouds form layers or smooth, even sheets in the sky. Cumulus clouds are masses of puffy, white clouds, often with flat bases. Some prefixes of cloud names describe the height of the cloud base. The prefixaltodescribes middle-elevation clouds. Clouds associated with rain or snow often have the the word nimbus attached to them. So, altostratus clouds are clouds that form layers, or smooth, even sheets in the sky at middle-elevation, altocumulus clouds are masses of puffy, white clouds, often with flat bases at middle-elevation, and nimbostratus clouds are clouds that form smooth, even sheets in the sky and are associated with rain or snow.
