Question

Match the column and complete the chain: A B C(A) Cirrus (i) Vertical extent in the sky (a) Roaring clouds(B) Cumulonimbus (ii) higher altitude (b) Floating clouds(C) Nimbostratus (iii) Medium altitude (c)continuous rainfall(D) Alto-cumulus (iv) Low altitude (d) snow flake clouds

Answer 1

"Cirrus is a thin cloud characterized by thin, wispy strands. It is an atmospheric cloud.

Cirrus- (i) vertical extent in the sky – (a) roaring clouds

Cumulonimbus clods are those vertical clouds. These are formed of water

vapor and are carried to places by upward moving air current.

Cumulonimbus- (ii) higher altitude – (d) snow flake clouds

Nimbostratus clouds are low level atmospheric conditions.

Nimbostratus- (iv) low altitude- (c) continuous rain

These are middle leveled atmospheric conditions.

Auto-cumulus- (iii) Medium altitude- (b) floating cloud

"

Answer 2

The complete matches are:

Cirrus-vertical extent in the sky-roaring clouds (cirrus is a thin cloud which is characterized by wispy, thin stands);

Cumulonimbus- higher altitude- snow flake clouds ( Cumulonimbus clouds are vertical clouds which are formed due to water vapor and carried by upward moving air current);

Nimbostratus – low altitude –continuous rain ( Nimbostratus clouds are low-level atmospheric conditions);

Auto-cumulus - medium altitude – floating cloud ( These are mid-level atmospheric conditions)
