Why are cirrus clouds sometimes considered indicators of weather change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because they can appear high in the sky before broader weather systems

Direct answer: B. Cirrus clouds are thin, high-altitude clouds, usually made mainly of ice crystals. Because they occur high above the surface, they can sometimes spread ahead of or accompany a large approaching weather system, such as a frontal system. Their appearance may therefore provide an early clue that weather conditions could change, although it is not a guarantee of a particular event. A is wrong because cirrus clouds do not always predict earthquakes. C is wrong because clouds do not dry the sea. D is wrong because cirrus clouds are not storm clouds that always produce immediate hail; their thin, icy structure is different from the deep vertical structure of severe storm clouds. B is correct because it links high-level cloud movement with a broader atmospheric system. Memory cue: cirrus means high, thin, icy streaks—sometimes an early sign, not a certain forecast.
