This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Clouds, Clouds are formed when water vapor from the ground heats up and rises to the atmosphere, four types Visit this website to practice the cloud types Cloud Matching/Concentration Game, "Strato" in Latin means "sheetlike." What defines them? Stratus clouds are those closest to the ground. They mean rain if it is warm and snow if it is cold., "Cumulus" in Latin means "a pile." What defines them? Cumulus clouds are those that bring fair weather., Cirrus clouds are the highest in the sky. Often predict fair or pleasant weather. look like thin, wispy streaks or curls, lower temperature air can hold less vapor so some of the water vapor condenses to form water droplets, four types 2. Cumulus Cloud "Cumulus" in Latin means "a pile.", "Nimbus" in Latin means "rain." What defines them? Nimbus clouds are those that bring thunderstorms, rain, or tornadoes., Clouds are made of drops of water and ice, Clouds there are four types, four types 4. Cirrus Cloud "Cirrus" in Latin means "curl of hair.", learn how to make your own cloud! Visit this website to Learn by doing!, Stratus clouds are those closest to the ground. They mean rain if it is warm and snow if it is cold. look like great sheets pulled across the sky, four types 3. Nimbus Cloud "Nimbus" in Latin means "rain.", Nimbus clouds are those that bring thunderstorms, rain, or tornadoes. look like thick, heavy, and dark, Cumulus clouds are those that bring fair weather. look like fluffy balls of cotton, condensation why? lower temperature air can hold less vapor, four types 1. Stratus Cloud "Strato" in Latin means "sheetlike.", some of the water vapor condenses to form water droplets then the water droplets condense into ice crystals which form around tiny bits of dust to create clouds., water vapor from the ground heats up and rises to the atmosphere then the hot air expands and cools
