Slide 1 This is a cumulus cloud. Can you find four things on the
word list that you can use to describe this cloud.
Cumulus clouds consists of puffy tops, no rain expected, 3,000 ft. high, and flat bottoms.
Slide 2 This is an example of towering cumulus clouds. Write down as many features from the word list to describe these clouds.
flat bottoms, may rain soon,
Slide 3 This is an example of cumulonimbus clouds. Write down as many
features from the word list to describe these clouds.
Looks like an anvil,
Slide 4a/b These are examples of stratus clouds and fog. Write down as many
features from the word list to describe these clouds.
Slide 5 These are examples of strato-cumulus clouds. Why do you think this
type of cloud is a combination of two clouds. Write down as many
features from the word list to describe these clouds.
Slide 6 These are examples of alto-cumulus clouds. Why do you think this
type of cloud is a combination of two clouds. What does the word
"alto" mean.....alto saxaphone?
Alto-cumulus clouds is a combination of two clouds because they typically form in two groups. Alto means a voice, or a instrument.

pictures. Write down as many features on your own to describe
these clouds.

I have been searching and searching through resources trying to find help to answer the questions. I am struggling on these questions. Can I please get help or at least point me in the right direction to find them by myself. I would reall appreciate it.
Sorry but I dont know how to answer that
Of course, I'm here to help! Let's go through each of the questions one by one and find the answers:
Slide 1: Cumulus Cloud
Based on the word list, four features to describe a cumulus cloud are:
1. Puffy tops
2. No rain expected
3. 3,000 ft high
4. Flat bottoms
Slide 2: Towering Cumulus Clouds
Features from the word list to describe towering cumulus clouds:
1. Flat bottoms
2. May rain soon
Slide 3: Cumulonimbus Clouds
Features from the word list to describe cumulonimbus clouds:
1. Looks like an anvil
Slide 4a/b: Stratus Clouds and Fog
Features from the word list to describe stratus clouds and fog:
Unfortunately, no specific features were listed for stratus clouds and fog.
Slide 5: Strato-Cumulus Clouds
This type of cloud is a combination of two clouds. Features from the word list to describe strato-cumulus clouds:
1. Flat bottoms
2. Puffy tops
3. Cottony
Slide 6: Alto-Cumulus Clouds
This type of cloud is a combination of two clouds. To understand what "alto" means, it refers to a specific level or altitude in the sky. Features from the word list to describe alto-cumulus clouds:
1. Combination of two clouds (typically forming in two groups)
Slide 7: Cirrus Clouds
To describe cirrus clouds, you can come up with your own features. Some possible features include:
1. Thin clouds
2. Close to the ground
3. Stratified or layered appearance
4. Looking like fish scales
Slide 8: Nimbostratus Cloud
Features to describe nimbostratus clouds:
1. Low to the ground
2. Grey
3. Filled with rain or snow
Slide 9: Contrail
Features to describe contrails include:
1. Can be formed by planes
I hope this helps you complete your task! Let me know if you have any further questions or need additional assistance.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you find the answers to the questions. Let's go through each question and figure out how to find the information you need.
Slide 1: To describe cumulus clouds, you can use the following features from the word list: puffy tops, no rain expected, 3,000 ft high, and flat bottoms. You already have these answers provided, so you can use them directly.
Slide 2: To describe towering cumulus clouds, you can use the features from the word list: flat bottoms and may rain soon. You can also observe the clouds in the picture and see if there are any other characteristics that match the description of towering cumulus clouds, such as their overall shape or size.
Slide 3: To describe cumulonimbus clouds, you can use the feature "looks like an anvil" from the word list. Again, you can also observe the clouds in the picture to see if there are any other noticeable characteristics.
Slide 4a/b: To describe stratus clouds and fog, you can use the feature "close to the ground" from the word list.
Slide 5: The reason why strato-cumulus clouds are a combination of two clouds is not mentioned in the provided information. However, you can still describe these clouds using the features from the word list: flat bottoms, puffy tops, and potentially other characteristics that you observe in the picture.
Slide 6: The reason why alto-cumulus clouds are a combination of two clouds is not mentioned in the provided information. But "alto" does not necessarily refer to a voice or instrument. In meteorology, "alto" refers to a specific altitude range in the sky. To describe alto-cumulus clouds, you can use the features from the word list: puffy tops, flat bottoms, and potentially other characteristics you observe in the picture.
Slide 7: You are asked to describe cirrus clouds based on your own observations. Look at the picture and see if you can identify any features that make these clouds unique. You can also think about the characteristics often associated with cirrus clouds, such as their thin, wispy appearance and their presence at high altitudes.
Slide 8: The provided information already describes nimbostratus clouds as low to the ground, grey, and filled with rain and/or snow. You can use these features directly.
Slide 9: The word list includes "can be formed by planes" as a feature for contrails. You can use this feature to describe the formation of contrails left by planes.
Remember, for these questions, it's important to both use the information provided and make observations based on the pictures. Feel free to ask for further assistance if needed!
