Weather Part 3 The Clouds.

Warm air is forced upwards Meets up with cold air Then both cool and condense around dust particles.

Clouds 2 nd Grade Frisco ISD. Cirrus Cirrus - Latin for "curl of hair". High, wispy, icy clouds. Usually very thin.

Clouds Clouds are classified by their shapes, elevation, and their associated weather conditions and patterns. Clouds that form from the condensation of.

What do clouds have to do with weather? What is it? - A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air.

Up in the clouds …. How are clouds formed? Warm moist air rises because it is less dense. As it rises it cools and becomes more dense so it can’t hold.

Analyze and interpret data from weather conditions, weather maps, satellites, and radar to predict local weather patterns and conditions.

Clouds and Precipitation

Clouds. How Clouds Form Clouds form when water vapor in the air becomes liquid water or ice crystals. As air cools, the amount of water vapor it can hold.

Clouds Cloud Formation  Condensation - water vapor gathers and forms water droplets or ice crystals (deposition)  1) Warm air rises taking along vapor,

The weather changes from day to day. Some days it is cloudy and rainy. Other days it is sunny and warm. People can predict weather by looking at the clouds.
