What is the usual shape of cumulus clouds?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Puffy and heap-like

Cumulus clouds are usually recognized by their rounded, white, and puffy appearance. They often look like heaps of cotton or piles rising upward, with fairly clear edges when the weather is stable. Their shape develops because warm air rises in vertical currents and cools, allowing water vapour to condense. The exact appearance can change with moisture, sunlight, and atmospheric conditions, but the heap-like form is the common identifying feature.

Option A is correct because “puffy and heap-like” describes the usual appearance of cumulus clouds. They are not invisible, because they can be clearly seen in the sky. They are made of water droplets or ice crystals, so they are not hard like stone. They also do not normally have the long, continuous appearance suggested by a sea wave. In a basic geography question, the useful association is simple: cumulus means rounded, piled-up, cotton-like clouds.
