What are the three main types of clouds?

• rain, snow, hail

• ocean, river, lake

• cumulus, stratus, and cirrus

• sun, moon, stars

How are clouds formed?

• Clouds are formed by the Earth's rotation

• Condensation of water vapor in the air

• Clouds are created by the sound of thunder

• Clouds are made of cotton candy

What are the ten cloud classifications according to the WMO?

• Fluffy, Puffy, Spiky, Wispy, Stripy, Lumpy, Bumpy, Chunky, Squishy, Slimy

• The ten cloud classifications according to the WMO are: cirrus, cirrostratus, cirrocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, nimbostratus, stratocumulus, stratus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus.

• Sunny, Rainy, Windy, Snowy, Foggy, Hail, Thunderstorm, Tornado, Hurricane, Blizzard

• Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Pink, Brown, Black, White

How can clouds be observed and studied?

• By asking them nicely to reveal their secrets

• By using a crystal ball and incantations

• By reading the clouds' minds

• Using satellite imagery, ground-based instruments, and weather balloons.

How does cloud cover affect weather patterns?

• By blocking or trapping heat, influencing temperature, and precipitation.

• By causing earthquakes and tsunamis

• By making the sky look bluer

• By attracting more birds to the area

What is the impact of clouds on the Earth's climate?

• Clouds can have both cooling and warming effects on the Earth's climate.

• Clouds only have a warming effect on the Earth's climate

• Clouds have no impact on the Earth's climate

• Clouds only have a cooling effect on the Earth's climate

What are the characteristics of cirrus clouds?

• Smooth and fluffy

• Thin and wispy

• Transparent and solid

• Thick and heavy

Explain the process of cloud formation through adiabatic cooling.

• Cloud formation is caused by the release of heat during adiabatic cooling.

• Adiabatic cooling causes air to contract and warm, leading to cloud formation.

• Adiabatic cooling has no effect on cloud formation.

• Adiabatic cooling causes air to expand and cool, leading to cloud formation.

What are the different types of cloud cover and their effects on temperature?

• Stratus, nimbus, and alto clouds; Cloud cover has no effect on temperature

• Cotton, wool, and silk clouds; Cloud cover causes extreme temperature fluctuations

• Cirrus, stratus, and cumulus clouds; Cloud cover can have a cooling effect during the day by blocking the sun's rays, but can also have a warming effect at night by trapping heat.

• Cirrus, cumulonimbus, and fog clouds; Cloud cover only affects temperature in the winter

Discuss the role of clouds in the Earth's energy balance.

• Clouds have no impact on the Earth's energy balance.

• Clouds only affect the Earth's energy balance at night, not during the day.

• Clouds absorb incoming solar radiation and release it as heat, warming the Earth.

• Clouds reflect incoming solar radiation and trap outgoing infrared radiation, affecting the Earth's temperature.
