Thin and feather-like high clouds are known as what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cirrus clouds

Correct answer: D, cirrus clouds. Cirrus clouds occur at high altitude and are made mainly of ice crystals because the upper atmosphere is very cold. Strong winds at those heights stretch the crystals into delicate, thin streaks that look like feathers or wisps. A is wrong because stratus clouds are low or middle-level layered sheets with a widespread, uniform appearance. B is wrong because cumulus clouds are rounded, heaped, and often look like cotton. C is wrong because nimbus refers to clouds associated with precipitation; it does not describe the characteristic thin, feather-like shape in this question. The shape and height are the decisive clues. Memory cue: cirrus sounds like a delicate curl or hair, so connect it with high, wispy, feather-like clouds.
