In stable air strong vertical growth is limited so clouds spread in layers. Exam tip: connect stability with stratus.
View question detailsInstability supports rising air and cumulus clouds grow. Exam tip: link instability with convective clouds.
View question detailsWhen air cools to the dew point tiny droplets begin to form. Exam tip: connect dew point with cloud base.
View question detailsWidespread layered clouds favour steady rainfall. Exam tip: connect uniform rain with clouds such as nimbostratus.
View question detailsFalling drops can freeze on the surface and form an icy glaze. Exam tip: link precipitation form with temperature layers.
View question detailsDew forms on surfaces while rain occurs when cloud particles fall. Exam tip: distinguish them by place of formation.
View question detailsMore tiny droplets can scatter light and increase haziness. Exam tip: connect visibility with droplet concentration.
View question detailsMore cloud water can help droplets grow larger. Exam tip: treat water content as increasing chance, not a guarantee of rain.
View question detailsAir resistance affects the shape of larger drops. Exam tip: do not assume raindrops are simply tear-shaped.
View question detailsMountains and slopes affect wind direction and uplift. Exam tip: connect relief with orographic rain and rain shadow.
View question detailsDescending air on the leeward side warms and lowers relative humidity. Exam tip: always remember rain shadow with orographic rainfall.
View question detailsDry lower air can evaporate drops before they reach the ground. Exam tip: separate falling from clouds and reaching the surface.
View question detailsStrong updrafts can add ice layers to hailstones. Exam tip: connect hail with storm clouds.
View question detailsA warm surface lifts moist air which cools and can form clouds. Exam tip: connect convection with surface heating.
View question detailsRain needs droplets to become large and heavy. Exam tip: distinguish cloud droplets from raindrops.
View question detailsNimbostratus is linked with layered rain and cumulonimbus with stormy vertical growth. Exam tip: identify rainfall nature from cloud type.
View question detailsCirrus clouds are high and thin so water from them rarely reaches the ground. Exam tip: remember cirrus as high thin clouds.
View question detailsTemperature changes with height can make water solid or liquid. Exam tip: connect vertical temperature with precipitation type.
View question detailsThe same moisture can spread over many particles and form many small droplets. Exam tip: understand the link between nuclei number and droplet size.
View question detailsHail formation needs repeated lifting and growth of ice layers. Exam tip: remember the hail-updraft relation.
