changing heat energy into kinetic energy
One example is clouds forming as warm air rises, expands, and cools in the atmosphere. The cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, creating visible cloud formations. This process is known as adiabatic cooling.
At the flat base of most cumulus clouds, warmer air rises and cools as it reaches higher altitudes. This cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense into water droplets, forming the visible cloud.
The process of raindrops forming in clouds and falling to the ground is called precipitation. Raindrops are formed when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into liquid water droplets due to cooling temperatures.
Adiabatic cooling relates to cloud formation in such, when it pushes air out of the way when rising, energy is released into the surroundings and the air cools "adiabatically." When the air that is cooling meets up with other air that is in the same situation, a cloud starts to forms, and when that cloud forms, it cools enough when it reaches a certain altitude and rains.
No, clouds are not nonrenewable. Clouds are continuously forming and dissipating as water evaporates from the Earth's surface, rises into the atmosphere, and then condenses into droplets or ice crystals to create clouds. This cyclical process makes clouds a renewable natural phenomenon.
The process of evaporated water vapor cooling down and forming clouds is called condensation. This occurs when the air cools and can no longer hold the water vapor, causing it to condense into liquid water droplets that gather to form clouds.
As air rises it becomes decompressed, which causes it to cool. This cooling can cause water vapor to condense, forming clouds.

The process by which a gas changes to a liquid is called condensation. This occurs when the gas loses energy (usually in the form of heat) and its molecules slow down, coming closer together and forming a liquid. This can happen through cooling or increasing pressure.

Evaporation caused by the sun's warmth and the wind blowing over the oceans, forming clouds. The cooling of the clouds that allows the rain to fall.
Altitude affects the composition of clouds because the troposphere is very cold, so the clouds up higher are made of ice crystals. The clouds in the lower sections are made of water droplets or a mixture of water droplets and ice crystals.
Condensation
The process of raindrops forming in clouds and falling to the ground is called precipitation. Raindrops are formed when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into liquid water droplets due to cooling temperatures.
The process is called adiabatic cooling. As warm air rises, it expands and cools down due to decreasing pressure, leading to water vapor condensing into liquid droplets, forming clouds.
The process you are describing is called condensation. It occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere loses heat energy, causing it to change from a gas to a liquid state, forming clouds or precipitation.
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.
