Cirrus Clouds
The thin and wispy cirrus cloud is made up of mostly ice crystals.
a cloud is formed
normal ice looks shiny like crystal so it is called crystal ice
No
It is very cold up there, and water droplets freeze into ice.
in higher altitutdes cirrus cloud contains ice crystal....but when weather is worse and there is a development of cumulonimbus cloud which develops from groin level to higher altitudes they have ability to develope ice crystals which falls as hailstones
Cirrus (Ci): The ice-crystal cloud is a feathery white cloud that is the highest in the sky. It has a wispy looking tail that streaks across the sky and is called a fallstreak. - Kidzworld dot com
A thin, hair-like cloud is typically referred to as a cirrus cloud. These clouds are high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals and are known for their wispy, feathery appearance. They form at high altitudes where the air is cold and stable.
A thin hair like cloud is a cirrus cloud. They are usually wispy and white, and are made of ice crystals.cirrus
Vapor deposition (Diffusional growth) - The vapor pressure over an ice crystal is much lower than that over a liquid droplet. Because atmospheric properties tend to move from regions of higher pressure to regions of lower pressure, water vapor surrounding liquid droplets tends to diffuse towards the ice crystals and deposit on them. This creates a deficit of water vapor above the droplet, which evaporates to make up for it. The newly evaporated water vapor also diffuses to the ice crystal, so that the ice crystal grows at the expense of the water droplet Accretion - As ice particles fall through the cloud at a higher velocity than cloud droplets, it collides and collects the supercooled droplets, which freeze upon contact with the crystal. The collected droplets are known as rime. Aggregation - Ice crystals falling through the cloud can collide with each other and stick together. This process is particularly efficient at temperatures near 0C, because the thin liquid water coating that forms on the partially melted crystals can act as an adhesive between the crystals.
Ice caps look like towers of ice.
Because the wing is somewhere for it to deposit and it acts a nucleating surface for crystal formation.
