Layered clouds that often cover much of the sky and are dull gray color are called?
Clouds that form in layers or flat patches are called stratus clouds. They can cover the entire sky and usually do not have precipitation that falls from them.
What are altocumulus clouds?
Altocumulus clouds are mid-level clouds that typically appear as white or gray patches or layers in the sky. They are composed of water droplets and usually indicate fair weather, but can sometimes signal the approach of a storm. Altocumulus clouds often appear in a rippled or undulated pattern across the sky.
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+
Which layers of the earth do primary waves travel?
Primary waves, or P-waves, travel through all layers of the Earth, including the crust, mantle, and core. They are the fastest seismic waves and are able to pass through both solid and liquid materials.
Four laws or principles are involved with the study of stratigraphy?
Stratigraphy is the study of the order and position of layers of archaeological remains. Its four principles are: law of original horizontality, law of superposition, law of original lateral continuity and law of cross-cutting relationships.
Does Mount Everest extend through all four layers in the atmosphere?
No, only through the trophosphere...
What are four classes of clouds by altitude?
Stratus -- very low on ground level, fog Cumulus -- sunny day clouds, low in the sky Cumulonimbus -- they extend through all levels Cirrus -- ice clouds, the highest clouds Sixty years ago I was taught in school the above were the types of clouds, but apparently it isn't that simple. Visit the link below to understand cloud types more thoroughly.
What cloud type is best described as sheets or layers that cover much or all sky?
Status clouds
In which of the four layers of the atmosphere would one find the cumulonimbus clouds?
Almost all clouds, including the cumulonimbus, are contained in the troposphere although some clouds occasionally protrude upward into the next level.
What kind of waves travel through all layers?
Primary waves.

What are the four laws with the study of stratigraphy?
Law of Superposition: In an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest layer is at the top and the oldest is at the bottom. Law of Original Horizontality: Sedimentary layers are originally deposited in horizontal layers. Law of Lateral Continuity: Layers of sediment initially extend laterally in all directions until they thin out or reach a barrier. Law of Cross-Cutting Relationships: If a geological feature cuts across another layer, it is younger than the layer it cuts through.
Why are thunder clouds gray?
Thunder clouds are grey because they are denser and heavier than other clouds. Clouds are just clumps of moisture beads that form in the atmosphere. Clouds that cause thunderstorms tend to contain much more moisture than other clouds - they are thicker and heavier, and thus they appear darker because light cannot get through them.
Why do clouds differ in colors?
Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, usually a mixture of both. The water and ice scatter all light, making clouds appear white. If the clouds get thick enough or high enough all the light above does not make it through, hence the gray or dark look.
Are all clouds filled with water?
Clouds are masses of condensed water vapor, therefore, all clouds are water.
What are cirrus stratus cimulus and cumolonimbus all types of?
They are all types of clouds. Cirrus clouds are wispy, high-altitude clouds. Stratus clouds are low, layered clouds that can bring rain. Cumulus clouds are puffy, white clouds associated with fair weather. Cumulonimbus clouds are towering clouds that can produce thunderstorms and severe weather.
