PPT-CLOUDS

Stratus Stratus clouds are low sheets of gray clouds that cover the sky Nimbostratus Stratus can change into nimbostratus clouds These clouds bring periods of rain Any cloud with nimb in its name is a rain cloud . 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.. Rain . Sleet . Snow . Hail . Rain notes for Teacher. “Rain . makes the grass green . and your . garden grow. . When the air holds lots of water droplets, clouds form. If a lot of water droplets gather in the clouds, the clouds become heavy. Gravity causes the water droplets to fall as rain. . 6. th. Grade Science. Clouds. Water from the earth’s surface moves into the air by . EVAPORATION. and becomes . WATER VAPOR.. Clouds are formed when rising air is cooled and the water vapor condenses on particles in the air and forms tiny water droplets.. Notes/Vocabulary. How do clouds form?. when warm air & cold air meet, cold air pushes up the warm air and a cloud can form. when air rises and cools, the water vapor in the air condenses into tiny water droplets and forms a cloud. Cumulus Clouds. Stratocumulus. Layered but puffy clouds at lower to mid elevations. Cumulus Clouds. Altocumulus. Thick puffy clouds that can be found at middle elevations. Cumulus Clouds.

Geoffrey Fox. gcf@indiana.edu. . How is rain made?. The sun has been warming the ground all morning.. The ground warms the air and the temperature rises. The warm air rises.. As the warm air rises, it cools and the water vapour (tiny droplets of water) in the air condenses to form clouds.. . Can you identify . cloud types in landscape paintings? . Directions. : Take a look at each piece of art and try to identify the clouds. The following slide has the answer. Good luck!. Title. : Route de Louveciennes.
