PPT-Types of Clouds

Cirrus Feathery or tufted Looks like horse tails Are found between 6000 and 12000 meters Made of ice crystals May be followed by rain or snow Cirrus Stratus Means sheets or layers Flat gray clouds that cover the whole sky. Second Grade Science. By: Christy Gibson . Clouds. A . cloud is composed of tiny water droplets (or ice crystals) that are suspended in the air. . If . the droplets become large enough. , they . may be visible as a cloud or fog. By:Genny. Cirrus Clouds. The Cirrus clouds are very high in the sky. They are also thin, high, and wispy. If you see a Cirrus you will have fair weather. Cirrus also made of ice crystals.. Stratus Clouds. 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.. In this file you can learn about the ten main types of cloud and how you could begin to recognise them.. Teacher’s . Notes. Make use of the forward . arrow button to move through the program.. . Special thanks to Malcolm Walker, of the Royal Meteorological Society, for checking this presentation.. 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. . 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.

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. Clouds. Form when air rises, cools to its dew point, and becomes saturated. Shape and height of clouds vary with temperature, pressure, and water vapor in atmosphere. Clouds. Shape. Stratus-smooth, even sheets or layers at low altitudes.
