Answer:
The two main type of mid-level clouds are altostratus and altocumulus. Altostratus clouds are “strato” type clouds (see below) that possess a flat and uniform type texture in the mid levels.
Within each altitude class additional classifications are defined based on four basic types and combinations thereof. These types are Cirrus (meaning hair like), Stratus (meaning layer), Cumulus (meaning pile) and Nimbus (meaning rain producing).
Thankyou.....
