What are feathery high clouds?
Feathery high clouds are cirrus clouds, which are the highest clouds in the atmosphere and typically have a wispy, thin appearance. They are composed mostly of ice crystals and can indicate fair weather or the approach of a warm front.
Are clouds occluded?
No, clouds are not occluded. Occlusion refers to when a front overtakes and lifts a warm front, leading to a decrease in instability and cloud development. Clouds are typically formed due to the condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere.
How are cumulonimbus clouds formed and what factors contribute to their development in the atmosphere?
Cumulonimbus clouds are formed through the upward movement of warm, moist air that condenses and rises rapidly in the atmosphere. Factors that contribute to their development include strong atmospheric instability, high humidity, and a lifting mechanism such as a cold front or mountains.
When a rapidly moving cold air mass runs into a slow moving warm air mass what is the result?
A cold front is formed. Yes a cold front is formed, but this could also come to mean that a cold front overtakes a warm front which means a new front would be formed called an occluded front.
Which type of cloud is least likely to produce rain?
Cirrostratus clouds art the least likely to produce precipitation that reaches the ground. These clouds are often formed from cirrus clouds as a warm front approaches.
How are clouds formed during a warm front?
Clouds are formed during warm front when it condenses....
What type of clouds are formed during a cold front?
cumulus

What forms when warm air moves towards cold air?
It forms a warm front. Along with this nimbostratus, altostratus, cirrostratus and cirrus clouds are formed.
Why do you often see clouds along a cold front?
clouds are left from the warm front
What are the types of clouds found in a cold front?
black clouds and feathered clouds
How is rain predicted?
Rain is predicted mostly by satellites, radars, and weather tools. Most of the meteorologists predict rain by watching at tracking clouds, fronts, and wind direction. The clouds and cloud formation are vital because different types of clouds produce different weather. The wind and front systems are vital because they determine the direction of the front.
Which front causes cumulonimbus clouds?
A cold front

Why are cirrus clouds rain clouds?
Cirrus clouds arrive before other clouds as a warm front approaches because the are the leading edge of the front. They typically form as the warm front approaches a cold front or stationary boundary.
