When the dew point is below freezing, the liquid water may change directly into ice crystals.
What else can I help you with?
When are clouds formed by ice crystals instead of drops of liquid water?
Clouds are formed by ice crystals instead of liquid water drops when the temperature is below freezing in the upper atmosphere. At high altitudes, where temperatures are colder, water vapor freezes onto aerosols like dust and salt particles to form ice crystals, leading to the formation of cirrus clouds.
When are clouds formed by ice crystal instead of drops of liquid water?
Clouds form with ice crystals instead of liquid water droplets when the temperature is below freezing in the atmosphere. Ice crystals can also form in clouds that are very high up in the atmosphere where temperatures are colder.
Why are some clouds built up of water droplets while others are made up of ice crystals?
For ease of explanation we may say that it all depends on the height of the clouds. Cirrus clouds are high and thin and made entirely of ice crystals forming above 20,000 feet. Low clouds are formed when water vapor turns back into liquid water drops, called condensation. The more the cloud rises the cooler it becomes until ice crystals are formed
How are fluffy clouds formed?
Fluffy clouds are called cumulus clouds. Cumulus clouds may be formed by three things: supercooled water droplets, ice crystals, or water vapor. What they are made of depends on the temperature. They are formed when warm surface air rises from the earth and the temperature in the atmosphere drops.
Why are clouds made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
Many clouds are made up of ice crystals because they are at high altitudes. The higher the altitude, the colder the temperature. Cirrus clouds are primarily made out of ice crystals, since they are located high in the atmosphere.
What are high clouds made of ice crystals is called?
cirrus
Why are clouds form at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather the drops of water?
caca
What are clouds like?
A cloud is made up of liquid drops or crystals of frozen water suspended in the atmosphere
Can growth be considered a characteristic of living organism only?
No. Clouds can grow. Rain drops can grow, crystals can grow.
Why are clouds that form at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
Clouds are made up of very small water droplets which are suspended in the air. If the air continues to cool, the small droplets will join together to form larger droplets or ice crystals. Eventually the weight of the water drops or ice crystals may be heavy enough to make them fall as precipitation(rain, snow, hail or ice). The higher clouds which don't produce precipitation are formed of the crystals while the lower clouds which produce precipitation are formed of water droplets which are the melted crystals.
Do clouds formed when water vapor in the air Conference to form the liquid water or ice crystals true or false?
Yes water drops or ice depending on the temperature. But they do not "Conference" to do this, it is delegates that do that. Thus the answer is both true and false.
Why are the clouds that form at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
Because it is very cold and the water turns into ice crystals. So that is why water droplets turn into ice crystals
