ypes of normal clouds -convection/ cumuliform (cotton balls) & layer/stratiform (blanket) convection/ cumuliform clouds -Forms when warm humid air rises through cooler surrounding air in the atmosphere. (cold fronts) have relatively flat bases that are somewhat near to the ground form wherever the air at ground level is colder than the ground or ocean-surface hazard- there is usually an updraft that starts near ground level and extends up into the cloud and weak downdrafts

What are the 2 main divisions of clouds? - Normal and Special What are Cumuliform Clouds? - Normal Clouds - look like stacks of cotton balls - associated with updrafts (warm air rising) What are some hazards of Cumuliform Clouds? - - strong updrafts - thunderstorms From smallest to largest rank cumuliform clouds - 1. Cumulus Humilis 2. Cumulus Mediocris 3. Cumulus Congestus 4. Cumulonimbus
