Stratus and nimbostratus clouds are found where warm and humid air is lifted over cooler air ahead of a front.

How does a wall cloud form?

A wall cloud forms when the rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm, called a mesocyclone, draws in moist air and causes the moisture to condense. The wall cloud marks the strongest part of the mesocyclone.


Can a cloud obtain and use energy?

Yes, rising warm moist air adds energy to a cloud. This energy can be released in many forms (e.g. tornados, lightning) and the moisture can fall out in many forms too (e.g. rain, snow, sleet, hail).


When does a tornado's funnel cloud form?

The funnel cloud forms ins the very early stages as the vortex descends below cloud base. It pulls in moist air, and the pressure drop in side it cools the air, causing the moisture to condense.


When water vapor forms a cloud does the water vapor get warmer or colder?

Cooler. The cloud forms because the water vapor condenses by cooling down. Thunderstorms occur because a warm, moist air mass is cooled by an incoming cold air mass. When the moist air gets chilled, the water vapor condenses to form clouds, resulting in rain.


What is a stratus cloud that forms near the ground?

A stratus cloud that forms near the ground is known as fog. Fog is a type of low-lying cloud that reduces visibility by condensing water vapor close to the Earth's surface. It often forms in valleys or coastal areas when warm, moist air near the ground cools and reaches its dew point.


What makes a funnel cloud?

A funnel cloud forms when the vortex of a developing tornado draws in moist air. As the air enters the vortex it undergoes a pressure drop, which in turn produce a temperature drop. This causes the moisture to condense and form a funnel cloud.


A tornado's funnel cloud results when?

A tornado's funnel cloud forms when warm, moist air rises rapidly and creates a rotating column of air. This spinning motion causes the air to condense into a funnel shape, which is visible as the iconic tornado funnel cloud.

A cloud on the ground is?

Fog, sea mist, smog, dust storm, dirty glasses, dementia, or hallucinations.


What is the result if there is a warm front?

When a warm front passes through an area, it typically brings warmer temperatures and moist air. This can lead to light to moderate precipitation, often in the form of gentle rain or drizzle. Cloud cover and humidity also increase as warm air overrides cooler air at the surface.
