What happens to nimbostratus clouds?
Stratus clouds occur below 6,000 feet. These clouds look like flat sheets of clouds, and can mean an overcast or rainy day. These clouds are usally a uniform color of gray, and cover most of the sky. Nimbo, just means rain for hail so put Nimbo and strtus together and Nimbosrtatus clouds are just what i said above but, just with rain or hail.
Where do cumulus clouds most often appear?
they most often appear in humid places.
What type of clouds do most tornadoes form from?
Tornadoes are produced by cumulonimbus clouds. Often a wall cloud appears near the base of a cumulonimbus before a tornado forms.
How do satellites help identify clouds that are most likely to produce precipitation?
b/c they create energy in which the infrared satellite can see
When hail falls does it mean a tornado could come?
It can. Hail often does come before a tornado, but most storms that produce hail do not produce tornadoes.
What clouds brings steady precipitation?
Cumulonimbus or nimbostratus often are the most common of clouds that bring steady precipitation. Other clouds bring rain and snow, the these two bring it most often.
What types of clouds make rain?
Typically clouds that produce precipitation will have either the Nimbo- prefix or -nimbus suffix. Clouds that produce precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail...etc) will normally appear lower in the sky such as the Nimbostratus & Cumulonimbus. There are different variations of these clouds with variations of the above names. Double-click on the terms "Nimbostratus" or "Cumulonimbus" to get the definition from AnswerTips!
What kind of clouds are usually in the sky when it rains?
it is most likely to be either a nimbostratus cloud or a cumulus cloud.
Light or moderate and steady precipitation is most often associated with which type of cloud?
Nimbostratus
What type of clouds produce most thunderstorms?
nimbus clouds
What are layers of curly clouds called?
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.
What are Nimbus clouds are most likely to produce?
A nimbus cloud is a cloud that produces precipitation.
Do Stratus clouds produce the most rain?
No, stratus clouds only produce relatively light rain. Cumulonimbus produce the heaviest rain (thunderstorms).
What happens to nimbostratus clouds?
Stratus clouds occur below 6,000 feet. These clouds look like flat sheets of clouds, and can mean an overcast or rainy day. These clouds are usally a uniform color of gray, and cover most of the sky. Nimbo, just means rain for hail so put Nimbo and strtus together and Nimbosrtatus clouds are just what i said above but, just with rain or hail.
What kinds of clouds form freezing rain?
Same as the clouds that form rain and snow - nimbostratus, for the most part. Freezing rain forms due to a shallow layer of cold air at the surface with above-freezing air above. This is unrelated to cloud types.
Where do cumulus clouds most often appear?
they most often appear in humid places.
Do cirrus clouds produce rain?
Cirrus are high altitude clouds. Cumulo nimbus (anvil shaped clouds) indicate the possibility of rain.
