Question

make a table showing types of clouds with altitude ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Cumulus
2. These clouds usually form at altitudes between 1,000 and 5,000ft, though often temperature rises after formation lead to an increase in cloud base height. These clouds are generally formed by air rising as a result of surface heating and may occasionally produce light showers.
3. Stratus Cloud
5. Stratus
6. Usually forms between the surface and 2,000ft, but cloud base can be up to 4,000ft. Thick stratus can produce considerable precipitation, particularly in hilly or coastal regions, though in some cases this precipitation may be falling from higher clouds such as nimbostratus. While thick stratus will obscure the sun or moon, they are clearly visible through thin stratus.
8. Stratocumulus Cloud
9. Stratocumulus
10. This cloud often occurs at altitudes between 1,000 and 4,000ft, though sometimes may be higher. While not generally producing precipitation these clouds may produce drizzle, particularly in hilly or coastal areas, and may be thick enough to obscure the sun or moon. These clouds consist entirely of liquid drops and are often formed close to the top of the planetary boundary layer.
11. Cumulonimbus Cloud
12. Cumulonimbus
13. Cloud base is typically between 2,000 and 5,000ft, though in some cases this may be lower or higher. These clouds are formed when conditions are such that deep convection is able to develop, and may have a huge vertical extent particularly in the tropics, sometimes reaching the tropopause. These clouds produce heavy showers, thunderstorms and hail, often also producing squally winds. At lower levels these clouds consist of liquid drops, but as altitude increases the cloud progresses through mixed phase and fully glaciated conditions. A fully developed cumulonimbus cloud may have a classic anvil appearance as the upper levels of the cloud spread out on reaching the tropopause. These systems may produce a considerable amount of cirrus cloud as the anvil spreads out.
