1 These are large puffy clouds that tower on one another and bring rain

2 Cumulonimbus

3 This is when heat is transferred from a hot surface to the surface nearest to it. When we talk about weather, this process happens when the heat from the earth rises up and heats the air above it.

4 Conduction

5 Winds that flow from the equator and the poles. They occur because of the rotation of the earth and the uneven heating of the earth.

6 Prevailing winds

7 These are low, gray clouds that are stratified

8 Stratus

9 These 2 types of clouds are usually seen on fair days

10 Cumulus or cirrus

11 This process is involved when heat it transferred from the sun to the earth’s surface

12 Radiation

13 These clouds bring rain or snow storms

14 Cumulonimbus

15 This process happens when heat moves from warmer areas to cooler areas and heats the cooler areas through a circular movement.

16 convection

17 This type of cloud is associated with gray skies and possibly some showers

18 stratus

19 These clouds form at very high elevations and are filled with ice crystals

20 Cirrus

21 The movement of air

22 wind

23 These clouds form at the lowest level of all of the clouds

24 stratus

25 A polar easterly is an example of this:

26 A prevailing wind
