Clouds
air
all air contains water
types
cirus
above 8,000km
wispy
water vapour forms ice crystals
very thin
stratus
below 2,000km
flat sheets
grey
inidcate rain
cumulus
below 5,000km
fluffy balls of cotton wool
good weather
lumpy tops and flat bottoms
formation
warm air rises
it expands and cools
cool air cannot hold as much water vapour as warm air
vapour condenses into billions of tiny droplets
forming a cloud
Precipitation
formation
air is forced to rise
as it rises it cools and loese ability to hold water
reaches a pint where its at 100% saturations, dew point above the point where condensation occurs
condensation is the way ater vapour is turned back inot water
definition
is form of liqiud or solid that falls from the sky
Types
Convectional
warm air rises cause its less dense
condenses to frm clouds
clouds produce rain
Cyclonic
wam air forced to rise above cold air
warm air cools becoming dense
rain is formed via condensation
Relief
very common
