Nimbostratus clouds are most commonly associated with which type of precipitation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Widespread, continuous rain

Correct answer: A, widespread and continuous rain. Nimbostratus is a thick, dark, layered cloud. It usually covers a large part of the sky and forms when moist air rises gradually over a wide area, often along a weather front. Water droplets and sometimes ice particles within it become large enough to fall as steady rain or snow. A is correct because this cloud produces prolonged, fairly uniform precipitation rather than a short shower. B is wrong because a sandstorm is caused mainly by strong winds lifting dust and sand, not by a cloud type. C is wrong because frost forms on cold surfaces near the ground, not as the usual precipitation from Nimbostratus. D is wrong because a thick Nimbostratus layer generally blocks sunlight and indicates cloudy weather. Memory cue: “nimbo” means precipitation; Nimbostratus means a layered rain cloud.
