Which type of clouds are found at very high altitudes in the atmosphere and are composed entirely of ice crystals?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cirrus clouds

Answer: B, cirrus clouds. Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy, feather-like clouds found at high levels of the troposphere. At those heights the temperature is very low, so their particles are mainly tiny ice crystals rather than liquid water droplets. A is incorrect because cumulus clouds are generally puffy and commonly occur at lower or middle levels, although their vertical extent can vary. C is incorrect because stratus clouds form broad, layered sheets and are not defined as entirely high-altitude ice clouds. D is incorrect because nimbostratus clouds are thick, widespread rain or snow clouds usually associated with lower and middle levels. Memory cue: cirrus sounds like a delicate hair or feather; high, thin, icy clouds are cirrus.
