Yep. All you need is something to cause moist air to rise. Without the mountain to lift horizontal wind to vertical draft, the adiabatic process will lift the flat land's hotter moist air versus the the normal environment lapse rate. As this moist air rises, it cools & relative humidity increases until it reaches the dew point & the water condenses out to form a cloud.
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.
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.
Clouds can form over hills due to orographic lifting, where air is pushed up the slope of the hill, cooling and condensing into clouds. As the air rises, it cools, reaching its dew point where condensation occurs, forming clouds. This process is common in areas where moist air is forced to rise over topographic barriers like hills or mountains.
Lenticular clouds generally form in mountainous regions. In these areas, there can be pockets of low pressure in the sky. When air encounters these low-pressure regions, it expands. If the air cools enough, it will condense to form lenticular clouds. The name "lenticular" actually means lens-shaped, because these clouds usually form an oval.
Cirrus clouds are made of ice crystals that have been carefully form over time
When the clouds go over mountains
Orographic Clouds
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.
As air blows toward mountains, it is forced to rise and warm.

Precipitation
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.
As the wind carries moisture-laden clouds over mountains, the air is forced to rise due to the topography. As the air rises, it cools, causing the moisture to condense and form rain or snow. This process, known as orographic lifting, is responsible for the increased precipitation on the windward side of mountains.
Clouds can form over hills due to orographic lifting, where air is pushed up the slope of the hill, cooling and condensing into clouds. As the air rises, it cools, reaching its dew point where condensation occurs, forming clouds. This process is common in areas where moist air is forced to rise over topographic barriers like hills or mountains.
Snow storms in the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains form when moist air is forced to rise over the mountains, leading to cooling and condensation of water vapor into snow. The moisture for these storms can come from nearby bodies of water, such as the Atlantic Ocean for the Appalachian Mountains and the Pacific Ocean for the Rocky Mountains.
Relief rainfall is associated with orographic clouds, such as cumulus or nimbus clouds, that form as moist air is forced to rise over elevated terrain like mountains. The air cools as it rises, and when it reaches its dew point, it condenses into clouds and causes precipitation in the form of rain.
