PPT-Clouds and Storms

Lesson 3 What Causes Storms Lightning and thunder signal a THUNDERSTORM A common storm with a lot of rain that is usually over quickly THUNDERSTORM Types of Precipitation Electrical charges jumping from cloud to cloud or cloud to ground is . What is a cloud?. A cloud is a group of water droplets in the atmosphere.. The water vapor condenses during the water cycle to form clouds.. Cirrus Clouds. They are the highest clouds.. They look thin, wispy, or feathery.. By Kelsey Shields. Definition. A cloud is a visible collection of particles of ice or water suspended in the air, usually at an elevation above the earth’s surface.. Different Kinds. There are four different types of clouds families. We then break the four families into ten different genus. They differentiate in the way they look, and the level of height they are at.. Florent. .

Last week, we focussed on the weather systems found in the mid-latitudes.. The heart of the mid-latitudes is the polar front, where warm, tropical air from the south meets cold, polar air from the north..
