Because Chuck Norris told them to
Clouds form over mountains when moist air is forced upwards by the terrain. As the air rises, it cools and reaches its dew point, causing water vapor to condense and form clouds. The higher elevation of the mountains also contributes to the cooler temperatures required for cloud formation.
Lenticular clouds are called standing wave clouds because they form in a stationary wave pattern created by the airflow over mountains or obstacles, resembling waves in a fluid. These clouds typically form on the leeward side of a mountain, where air descends and cools, leading to condensation when moist air rises on the windward side and then flows over the peak.
Cirrus clouds are made of ice crystals that have been carefully form over time
Over the hills towering cumulus started to shoot up in rows.
Clouds form over mountains when moist air is forced to rise due to air flow patterns and the topography of the mountain. As the air rises, it cools, causing the moisture it contains to condense into water droplets, forming clouds. This process is known as orographic lifting.
When clouds pass over hills or mountains, they can drop precipitation in the form of rain or snow. As the air rises over the elevated terrain, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and eventually precipitation. This process is known as orographic lift.
Not necessarily. Clouds form daily over both land and water.

Orographic Clouds
yes
Yes they do
When the clouds go over mountains
Yes, under the proper conditions, clouds can and do form over deserts.
Average rain fall in the Black Hills of South Dakota is usually over 20 inches. This is because as the clouds pass over the cooler climate of the high hills, they lose their moisture. The prairie near the hills is much drier.
The first step of a rivers journey is the source. The source is were clouds rain over mountains/hills.
Clouds form over mountains when moist air is forced upwards by the terrain. As the air rises, it cools and reaches its dew point, causing water vapor to condense and form clouds. The higher elevation of the mountains also contributes to the cooler temperatures required for cloud formation.
Relief rain forms when moist air is forced to rise over a topographic barrier, such as a mountain range. As the air rises, it cools and condenses to form clouds, eventually resulting in precipitation in the form of rain. The type of clouds that form can vary, but commonly include cumulus and nimbus clouds.
