Practice questions
If the surface is very hot but a stable air layer exists above why can convectional clouds be suppressed?If small droplets fall continuously in an area but visibility is not extremely low which precipitation form is likely?If a cloud has both small and large droplets why can larger droplets grow further?If rainfall started from a cloud but less amount reached the surface which factor could be responsible?What is the main advantage of considering both form and height in cloud classification?If a cloud contains ice crystals and supercooled droplets which statement is most scientific?If rain occurs sometimes in a rain shadow area why can general dryness still remain?If falling snowflakes melt partially which precipitation form may occur?If cloud base is very low which condition of surface air is likely?If air warms while descending after crossing a mountain why does its rain potential decrease?If cumulonimbus has rain below and icy regions above why can it be dangerous?If cloud droplets become fallable but strong updraft exists what may happen?If a convectional cloud is local but rainfall is very intense what does it indicate?If lower air is above freezing and the ground is warm what will be the final form of falling ice crystals from a cloud?If droplets do not grow in clouds yet they cover the sky how should this be understood?If cirrus clouds are very high and fibrous what type of particles are more likely in them?If the same storm cloud has both hail and heavy rain which cloud process can be responsible?If precipitation particles form in a cloud but lower air melts or evaporates them what is the conclusion?If two clouds have the same water content but one has many more condensation nuclei what result is possible?If windward rainfall is very high in a mountain region what long-term effect may occur in nearby leeward area?
