Clouds form in a hurricane because the air is?

moist and warm, causing water vapor to condense and form clouds. The intense upward motion of air within a hurricane also helps in the rapid formation of clouds.


What is in cloud that make them rise?

Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that have condensed from moist air. These droplets are light enough to be lifted by air currents and can accumulate to form visible clouds in the atmosphere. The rising of these droplets is a result of convective processes, or warm air rising and lifting the moist air with it.


What forms rising air?

Clouds form.


In order for clouds to form the air must be what?

The air must be moist.


Do clouds form better in dry or moist air?

Clouds are more likely to form in moist air because the moisture provides water vapor, which is necessary for cloud droplets to condense and form. Dry air lacks the necessary water vapor for cloud formation.


Do clouds form in rising air mass?

Yes


When warm moist air cools condensation forms what?

Water condenses out of warm moist air to form clouds when it hits cooler air.


What is a generic term for clouds that form as moist air is uplifted over mountains?

Orographic Clouds


Which clouds form from rising currents of warm air?

Cumulus clouds form from rising currents of warm air. These clouds are typically fluffy and white with a flat base and are associated with fair weather.


When do cumulus cloudes form-?

Cumulus clouds are those that look like puffy white cotton balls in the sky. They form when warm air rises and meets cold moist air.


What two ways do clouds form?

Clouds form through the process of condensation, where water vapor in the air cools and changes back into liquid water droplets. This can occur by air rising and cooling (convection), or by warm, moist air coming into contact with a cold surface or air mass (orographic lifting).


Do clouds form when air sinks?

No, clouds form when warm, moist air rises and cools, causing water vapor to condense into water droplets or ice crystals. When air sinks, it typically becomes warmer and drier, which discourages cloud formation.
