What is the shape of the stratus cloud?
long,smooth, almost even,plane and horizontal as cloud blanket.
What do the three main types of clouds look like?
stratus clouds =like a blanket or layered cumumlonimbus clouds=big bulky clouds most of the time bring rain or storms cirrus clouds =look like wisps of air or of a cloud
How do Mammatus clouds form?
Hot air rising and sthen cools and sinks and forms udder like shaped clouds
What is the difference between low level clouds middle level clouds and high level clouds?
All clouds are diffiened into four layers as follows- low level clouds-stratus, stratocumulus,nimbostratus and fog(really low stratus) medium level clouds-altocumulus,altostratus high level clouds-cirrocumulus,cirrostratus and cirrus. many level clouds- these are usually convective clouds like cumulonimbuses. stratocumulus for A+
What are altocumulus clouds?
Cirrus clouds (Ci) are part of the genera high-étage and will form from 5,000 m in the troposphere.
What clouds form blanket like layers?
Cirrus-Feathery
What types of clouds are formed in blanket-like layers?
A cumulus cloud. Because it has thick layers over the sky which normally mean a sunny day. ;)
What are the three main classes of clouds?
Cumulus-puffy. Cirrus-Feathery,sheet like,blanket like. Stratus-horizontal layers,sometimes when it is at a low altitude it is fog.
What type of cloud is low and blanket like?
status clouds
What is a cloud that forms in a blanket like layer?
Stratus Clouds
What is the name of a cloud that forms blanket like layers?
i believe it is a cumulonimbus cloud
What is the shape of the stratus cloud?
long,smooth, almost even,plane and horizontal as cloud blanket.
What shape is a stratus?
stratus clouds are shaped like a thin wispy blanket of cotton balls
What type of cloud is flat and layered forming a blanket like cover over the sky?
Stratus Clouds form a layer or 'sheet' across the sky and tend to be much lower in the atmosphere
Clouds are named by their shape and?
by where they form in the atmosphere and their shape- ombudsmanHoward noted that there are three basic shapes to clouds:heaps of separated cloud masses with flat bottoms and cauliflower tops, which he named cumulus (Latin for heap);layers of cloud much wider than they are thick, like a blanket or a mattress, which he named stratus (Latin for layer);wispy curls, like a child's hair, which he called cirrus (Latin for curl).To clouds generating precipitation, he gave the name nimbus (Latin for rain).Clouds are found in three layers in the lower atmosphere. Thus, with four types of clouds and three layers, we come up with 12 major cloud types that have evolved from Howard's pioneering work.Heaps:Cumulus familyFair weather cumulusSwelling cumulusCumulus congestusLayers: Stratus familyStratusaltostratuscirrostratusLayered HeapsstratocumulusaltocumuluscirrocumulusPrecipitating cloudscumulonimbuscirrusnimbostratus
How do clouds and precipitation form include words like evaporate water vapor and condense?
Evaporation form clouds, condensation of vapors from clouds form rains.
Why is it warm at night when there are clouds?
The cloud cover helps to keep the heat from the day in, much like an insulating blanket.
