What is a cumulus cloud?
400
True or False: All four types of precipitation condense around a nucleus.
What is true?
400
These clouds hold a lot of water. They can be violent or turbulent.
What are vertically developed clouds?
400
The process by which plant leaves release water into the air
What is transpiration?
400
A dust particle is the ___________ around which water molecules condense.
What is nucleus?
500
A high-altitude cloud with a featherlike shape, made up of ice crystals
What is a cirrus cloud?

500
Precipitation from these clouds has smaller drops of rain or snow, and the showers are usually long lasting.
What are stratus clouds?
500
The process in which liquid changes directly to a gas
What is evaporation?
500
True or False: Large cumulus clouds have heavy rain or snow showers, and they last for a very long time.
What is false? (They don't last long)
