If a cloud has ice crystals in its upper layer and liquid droplets in its lower layer, what does this indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A temperature difference with height

Correct answer: B. A cloud can contain different forms of water at different heights because temperature generally changes with altitude. The upper part may be cold enough for water to exist as ice crystals, while the lower part may be warmer, allowing liquid droplets to remain. This shows a vertical temperature structure, not the absence of water. Option A is wrong because both ice crystals and liquid droplets are forms of water. Option C is wrong because a cloud is a collection of suspended water droplets and/or ice particles, not a rock. Option D is wrong because completely dry air could not support the stated water particles. B is correct because the contrasting phases reveal different thermal conditions at different levels. Memory cue: “ice above and liquid below usually means colder above, warmer below.”
